Baseball Players who Played for Rockies and Angels

There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.

That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Angels.

And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?

Well, good news, you’re in the right place.

I’ve done some research and have found 4 players who played on both the Rockies and Angels.

Dante Bichette

Possibly best known for his mullet, Dante Bichette was a major force at the plate during his 14-year career. I will always remember Bichette in a Rockies uniform, but he also played for the (California) Angels, Red Sox, Brewers and Reds.

Bichette was part of the Rockies’ “Blake Street Bombers,” and his 1995 season was particularly epic, hitting over .340 with 40 home runs and 128 RBIs – finishing second in MVP voting.

For his career, he hit over 270 homers and drove in over 1100 RBIs. Bichette made the All-Star team four times.

Andres Galarraga

Andres Galarraga, who played from 1985 to 2004, is best known for his time as a first baseman with the Expos and Rockies. However, he also played for 5 other clubs including the Giants, Braves, Rangers, Angels and Cardinals.

Galarraga was a powerhouse at the plate, amassing over 2,300 hits, 399 home runs, and a .288 career batting average. In ’93 he led the majors with a .370 batting average and in ’96 Galarraga hit 47 home runs and led the majors with 150 RBIs.

Galarraga, nicknamed “The Big Cat” for his quick reflexes at first base, was a five-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner.

Ron Gant

Ron Gant played from 1987 to 2003 and is probably best remembered for his time with the Braves and Reds. However, Gant played for 8 teams over his 16-year career making him an extremely versatile Immaculate Grid player.

Gant brought a dynamic mix of power and speed to the game, hitting over 300 home runs and stealing more than 240 bases during his career. In 1993, Gant hit a career-high 36 home runs and drove in 117 RBIs while finishing 5th in MVP voting.

Gant was a two-time All-Star and his 30-30 seasons (30 home runs and 30 stolen bases) in 1990 and 1991 were also high points in his career. After a devastating motorcycle accident before the 1994 season, Gant made an impressive comeback, proving his resilience and further endearing him to fans.

Jhoulys Chacin

Jhoulys Chacín started, and ended, his career with the Rockies – playing a combined 8 seasons with the club. Chacin also played for 6 other teams including the Braves, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Red Sox, Padres and Angels.

Chacín is known for his sinker and slider combination and finished his career with over 1100 strikeouts. His best season came in 2018 with the Milwaukee Brewers, when he won 15 games and had a 3.50 ERA with 156 strikeouts, playing a key role in the Brewers’ deep playoff run.
