Day 75—Colorado Rockies
June 24th, 2007 by Tim Riley

Back to Denver, to see the Colorado Rockies take on the ferocious Tampa Bay Devil Rays. We were invited on to the field for a pre-game ceremony for a Tour for the Cure shout out. All three of us practiced our wave to the camera/jumbotron face before the game so we totally nailed our wave to the camera and jumbotron appearance. We had the chance to meet Jason Hirsh, a starting pitcher for the Rockies and one of the tallest men I’ve ever met. Thanks to Beth and Antigone for getting us onto the field today!

The Rockies are the hottest team in the MLB since mid-May. Coincidentally, watching a game at Coors field in the direct sun is one of the hottest experiences you will ever have at a ballpark. At the time of the game, the Rockies they were an astounding 17-3 in their last 20 games. Unfortunately they didn’t win—Scott Kazmir and company spoiled the Rockies Father’s Day game. As of this writing, the Rockies just swept the Yankees and now stand a few games above .500. Tomorrow we have off and will slowly make our way back to Utah.
That’s hot.
