Another Reason to Root for Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are doing everything right these days. They have a 2-0 lead in their series against the Phillies and today they voted to give a full share of their playoff payout to the Coolbaugh family. Mike Collbaugh was killed on July 22 when a line drive foul ball hit him in head while he was coaching 1st base.

The best part of the story is that this was all the player's decision. There is a great article about the Collbaugh family in the Sept. 24 edition of Sports Illustrated. It is such a tragic accident and according to doctors this was a once-in-a-lifetime thing that said, "A one-in-bazillion chance of a fatal blow. A half a hair either way and it wouldn't have killed him."

I've got one thing to say: Go Rockies!!!
