Walk-Off!: Coors Field's 1995 Marathon Opener and the Eventful Early Days of the Colorado Rockies

Denny Dressman

4.9/5 (19040 ratings)

Description:In the early 1990s, Major League Baseball arrived in Colorado—not with a whimper but with two bangs: a home run in 1993 by Eric Young, the Rockies’ first-ever batter at Mile High Stadium; and Dante Bichette’s three-run, extra-inning blast into the arctic night that ended the inaugural game at Coors Field in 1995.Equally as momentous, Denny Dressman maintains, was the smoke-and-mirrors it took to deliver this franchise to Denver and assemble a competitive team on a razor-thin budget.Using Bichette’s home run as his entry point, Dressman captures the excitement of Denver’s early MLB frontier—the days of “Groove,” the “Big Cat,” the “Blake Street Bombers” and the fastest expansion team ever to make the postseason.Culled from contemporary reports and interviews with players and coaches, the GM, groundskeeper and many others, Walk-off! touches all the bases when it comes to telling one of baseball’s great untold stories.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
