Can you guess how many All-Star Game player selections the Rockies have had in their history, prior to this season?

We’ll give you some choices: A: 38. B: 48. C: 58

The answer is C. Since the Rockies came into existence before the 1993 campaign, a Colorado player has been introduced at the All-Star Game 58 times. Three Rockies hold the honor of representing the franchise in five All-Star Games: Nolan Arenado (2015-2019), Todd Helton (2000-04), and Troy Tulowitzki (2010-11, 2013-15).

With the Rockies coming into the league in 1993, can you name the first-ever All-Star player wearing a Rockies insignia? That would be Andres Galarraga, who earned two All-Star nods with Colorado (1993 and 1997).

Galarraga being the only Rockies player selected to the All-Star Game in 1993 is one of just eight seasons where just one Colorado player has been in the All-Star Game. On the other side of the spectrum, there have been two years where four Rockies have taken part in the All-Star Game. In 2017, it was Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, Greg Holland, and DJ LeMahieu. In 2019, it was Arenado, Blackmon, David Dahl, and Trevor Story.
