DENVER -- Rockies closer John Axford had to purchase two baseball gloves for his son, Jameson, to play with as the 2-year-old recovers from a rattlesnake bite incident in Arizona in March. Jameson is undecided: Lefty or righty?
Axford doesn't know what to expect when his son makes his Coors Field debut Friday night, when he'll throw a first pitch during a ceremony before the Rockies' game against the Dodgers.
After what Jameson has been through, either will be fine with Dad.
"In the hospital, over the whole time, he was throwing with his right and with his left hand, so I'm not too sure which one he'll choose when he's out there," Axford said.
