It's hard to believe it's been that long since Colorado has had an MLB franchise to call its own.
And it all began on April 5, 1993, when the Rockies and Mets squared off in Shea Stadium for the team's first ever official game.
Colorado lost to New York 3-0, but the fact the region finally had a team made the score feel irrelevant.
