Last night was an ordinary win on an extraordinary day on the calendar.
There's just something about the 25th of September. The Rockies have lost only once on that date in the last decade, and that was when a certain #17 more than made up for it with a storybook goodbye. Last night was the fourth Rockies game I've attended on September 25th, and all four have been fantastic.
In 2009, the Rockies were closing in on a playoff berth and defeated the Cardinals 2-1 on a walk-off sacrifice fly by Yorvit Torrealba. A sellout crowd stuck around afterwards for fireworks.
