DENVER -- Dante Bichette became one of the Rockies' earliest stars with his bat, so much so that the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame this week announced that Bichette will be a member of its 2017 class of inductees.
So it comes almost as a shock to learn what Bichette, 53, is doing these days: pitching.
On Wednesday, Bichette discussed his Colorado sports honor from Phoenix, where he was pitching for the EC Cardinals, a men's team out of Charlottesville, Va. It's one of several teams Bichette -- who resides near St. Petersburg, Fla. -- has been known to pitch for these days.
