There was a lot to think about over this All-Star break. The welcomed distraction allowed for reflections on better times, moments to appreciate former and current Rockies All-Stars, and to prepare ourselves for what the second half may bring to the organization.
After delighting in Germán Márquez’s dominant performance in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s All-Star Game, it made me realize just how impressive it is that the Colorado Rockies – a team conventional wisdom has deemed destined to fail in part because of geography and Coors Field (we won’t get into the front office in this one) – has managed to have so many All-Star pitching selections.
