2025 Breakfast of Champions
Baseball fans, get ready to meet one of the game’s greats! Dante Bichette, a four-time MLB All-Star and a key figure in the Colorado Rockies' famed “Blake Street Bombers,” will be the featured speaker at our Friends of Baseball Breakfast of Champions. Known for his explosive bat and clutch performances, Bichette was one of the most feared hitters of the 1990s.
Over the course of his 14-season MLB career, Bichette amassed 274 home runs, 1,141 RBIs, and an impressive .299 batting average. His standout season came in 1995 when he led the league with 40 home runs and 128 RBIs, earning him the National League Silver Slugger Award and finishing second in MVP voting. Bichette also hit one of the most memorable home runs in Rockies history, the game-winning walk-off homer in the first game ever played at Coors Field.
Beyond the stats, Bichette’s love for the game and his unique insights as a player, coach, and mentor make him an engaging and inspirational speaker. This is your chance to hear firsthand stories from his time in the big leagues and learn about his journey through the highs and challenges of professional baseball.
