On Saturday, four former Rockies will return to Coors Field — a place they turned into a launch pad for dozens and dozens of homers. As they became the Blake Street Bombers, Larry Walker, Dante Bichette, Vinny Castilla, Andrés Galarraga, and Ellis Burks helped build a new franchise’s identity.
As part of the Rockies 30th anniversary season, Walker, Bichette, Burks, and Castilla will be honored before the second game of Colorado’s doubleheader against the Giants. The first 15,000 fans at the game will get a Blake Street Bombers T-shirt and all be treated to a postgame drone light show.
