Galarraga's Illness Shocks Rockies and Fans
The news of Galarraga's illness stunned those who followed his career. After solid seasons in his 20s, he blossomed into a superstar in the 30s due to a strict offseason workout. Colorado general manager Bob Gebhard recalled Galarraga since his Montreal Expos days, noting he was unlikely to be stricken by such news. In 1993, his first Rockies season, Galarraga led the NL with a .370 average.
