Background
The Rockies opened on the road with two losses to the Mets, then won their first home game, 11-4 over the Montreal Expos on April 9. Crowds at Mile High Stadium, the Denver Broncos' football ground, added up to 4,483,350 for the season, a Major League attendance record that still stands. First baseman Andres Galarraga, signed as a free agent, was the club's All-Star and won the National League batting title with a .370 average, the best in the majors. Dante Bichette arrived in a trade with Milwaukee, and Vinny Castilla, who played on until 2006, was the last member of the 1993 team to retire.
