Steve Finley and Greg Vaughn. The rest of the players I knew about. We do not talk about Reyes in Colorado. I remember Finley as a Diamondback. I will say this to my dying day but I still believe the Sox cheated in the 07 series.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597558937784356359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-71801391526967003202017-07-26T20:25:41.671-05:002017-07-26T20:25:41.671-05:00There's something about cards of an expansion ...There's something about cards of an expansion team in its first year... and when you combine that with a short-term stop that makes any Dale Murphy cards with the Rockies a must have... especially that 1993 Ultra!<br /><br />I'd put Sabes and Murphy as the "Oddest Rockies".<br /><br />Thanks once again!

Had no idea Murphy, Vaughn or Finley ever donned Rox uniforms. Great job, and great cards!Mark Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742272751796497047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-37561203215950789762017-07-25T19:56:57.288-05:002017-07-25T19:56:57.288-05:00Even as a lifelong Rockies fan, I just knew that y...Even as a lifelong Rockies fan, I just knew that you'd dig up some guy to surprise even me.<br /><br />Greg Vaughn. No memory of that at all.<br /><br />Also in the same vein as Dale Murphy was Bryn Smith, part of the inaugural rotation, who went 2-4 with an 8.49 ERA in 11 appearances. Not a great showing, but he did win the first-ever home opener at Mile High Stadium.<br /><br />And poor Todd Zeile. Not sure if he's been passed by now, but at one point, he had the record for most games played without an All-Star appearance.<br /><br />Great post Nick!

Hey, four guys who spent time with the Mets!<br /><br />Kind of funny that you compare Todd Zeile to an actor; his wife did some tv acting in the 80s (notably Paula the cheerleader on Charles In Charge), and their daughter now plays teenage Kate on This Is Us.Brett Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909286892005353279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-26116432276384151032017-07-25T19:05:46.384-05:002017-07-25T19:05:46.384-05:00Excellent installment Nick!
