Denver – Somewhere, someplace, there is possibly … a picture of a very young Kyle Freeland with Colorado Rockies mascot, Dinger. “Growing up, I always knew who he was, I think I might have gotten a picture with him when I was little,” he says. “It was always fun seeing him running around.”
It’s odd to think we may have crossed paths over the years as fans at down at the ballpark long before baseball would become both of our jobs. Especially considering how far outside the mainstream people from this area so often feel. There’s something special about the hometown, or in this case also the home state, hero.
