Guccione, who’s from in Salida, Colo., which is about a two and a half hour drive southwest of Coors Field, invited Cordova to meet him at the home of the Colorado Rockies after he heard about his story a few weeks ago.
Cordova was the umpire in a game that had an adult-fueled brawl after a disputed call. Video was captured of the event at Westgate Elementary School in Lakewood and it went viral.
Guccione and Cordova spoke to the media, including Rox Pile’s Kevin Henry, before the game and Guccione said that his career got started much like Cordova’s.
