Just when you think you’ve seen everything at Coors Field … along comes Ben Paulsen.
As Rockies fan Jacob Lucy tweeted at me after the game: “Paulsen went from court jester to knight in shining armor” in the span of five innings during Colorado’s raucous 8-7 victory over the Texas Rangers Monday night at Coors Field.
ICYMI, here’s how it went down:
In the Ranger’s game-changing, three-run fifth inning, with one out and two men on, Prince Fielder grounded out to Paulsen, who stepped on first. Thinking he had recorded the third out, Paulsen began jogging to the Rockies’ dugout.
