 Don Baylor
June 28, 1949 - Aug. 7, 2017

Don Baylor was the franchise’s

first manager and there was never
a doubt that the hard-nosed player
who was known for his leadership on
and off the field was the perfect man
to oversee the day-to-day world of an
expansion team.
He knew how to get players to
rela , like the first day of Spring Train-
ing when he greeted the expansion
roster for the first time. ell aware
that many of them didn’t know one
another, and that they basically had
come from franchises that felt they
were expendable, he and Bryn Smith,
a veteran pitcher, handed out name
tags, which became a lighthearted
point of discussion.
But he also demanded a respect
for the game and the franchise. From
day one, Baylor had all players stand-
ing on the top step of the dugout for
the playing of the national anthem be-
fore every game.
If we can’t find three minutes
out of a day to show unity, we are in
trouble,” he replied when a visitor
asked him about it.
And players wore sport coats,
ties and slacks when the team trav-
eled, regardless of the time they were
to arrive in the next city.
“We will have enough people
look at us as the Bad News Bears, we
don’t need to act like them,” he told
his team. “We need to respect our-
selves and the game.We need to have
pride in who we are.”
The pride was heightened in the
franchise’s third year of existence.
The Rockies claimed the 1995 Wild
Card spot to advance to the postsea-
son quicker than any of the 10 previ-
ous expansion teams.
The respect for Baylor was so strong that when Clint Hurdle, who was a hitting coach for Baylor, became
manager of the team, he brought Baylor back as a member of his coaching staff.
“It was a no-brainer,” says Hurdle. “He was the man who opened the door for me and he was the man who
showed me how to handle the job. He was so much more than a manager. He was an inspiration.”
Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2003, Baylor passed away on Aug. 7, 2017.
