Although it is possible that Bichette, Castilla, Galarraga, and Mike Kingery were featured as a group on a T-shirt in 1994, it seems quite unlikely, essentially unbelievable. While Bichette and Galarraga were the two big stars on the team at that time, Castilla was not yet a starter. His fame was still in the future. And while Kingery had a good year in 1994, he was nonetheless (somewhat unfairly) regarded as a sort of stopgap center fielder, filling the position until Ellis Burks healed from injury. Kingery had only 4 home runs in 301 at-bats in 1994, hardly the mark of a power hitter. No one would apply the word "bomber" to him.

Furthermore, "

No, 1995 was the year of origin of the phrase "Blake Street Bombers," and it originally applied only to Rockies players with at least 30 home runs in a season, which in 1995 meant Bichette, Castilla, Galarraga, and Larry Walker. Paul (talk) 17:42, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
