Dante Bichette, OF, 1995

Stats: .340 AVG, 197 H, 102 R, 38 2B, 40 HR, 128 RBI, .364 OBP, .620 SLG, .984 OPS

With Dante Bichette now on the list, three of the four Blake Street Bombers have been mentioned. The ’95 season was the second least amount of games Bichette played while with the Colorado Rockies. Did it matter? No, it didn’t. Bichette was great during 1995, especially during the second half of the season, having career highs in home runs, batting average, on base percentage, and slugging percentage.

Bichette, had a similar case to most on this list, he finished near the top of MVP voting without winning it. He was the runner-up in the 1995 season, only losing out to Barry Larkin of the Cincinnati Reds. Even after having a second half season of batting .344 with 27 home runs and 80 runs batted in, it wasn’t enough for the MVP award.

Same as the rest of the crew when 2000 came around, Bichette was done with the Rockies. Before and after his career in Colorado he never put up similar numbers. He made all four of his All-Star games as part of the Colorado Rockies. Whether or not he was a good player anywhere else does not discount how good he was for the Rox.
