On March 29, 1987, Hulk Hogan performed probably the most famous body slam of all time, lifting Andre the Giant above his head and throwing him to the mat while 93,173 people lost their collective minds.
On a rainy Friday night, in front of a substantially smaller crowd, we saw another Giant get slammed when Trevor Story hit one of the “grand” variety, paving the way for a 6-5 win for the Colorado Rockies over the San Francisco Giants.
The visitors came into the game with some confidence considering they had Johnny Cueto on the mound and took an early lead but the Rockies offense did their part in a close and cold home win.
