Its Opening Day, the evening of April 26, 1995, and Rockies right-hander Bill Swift has just uncorked the first official pitch at Denvers brand new Coors Field. A bundled-up crowd of 47,228 will watch Mets leadoff batter Brett Butler slap the fastball deep into the hole at short and reach safely on the infield hit. The Rockies will escape the inning unscathed and go on to score two runs in their first at bat.
