On this episode of the Pastball Podcast, host Matt takes us back to 1993, a pivotal year that forever altered the landscape of Major League Baseball. After a 16-year hiatus, MLB expanded its reach, welcoming two new franchises: the Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins. Matt dives into the unique challenges and opportunities of this expansion, exploring how the wild expansion draft unfolded and the strategic choices made by both teams. From the Rockies' high-altitude sluggers like Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette to the Marlins' quick ascent to a World Series title in just their fifth season with fan favorites like "Mr. Marlin" Jeff Conine, discover how these two ambitious newcomers quickly carved out their own identities and left an undeniable mark on the league.
