Six years ago last night, the Rockies were a very different team than they are now. Six years ago last night, they played the finale of a four game wrap-around series against the Giants that had all the makings of a classic. And six years ago last night, a single regular season baseball game changed my life forever.
Sixty hours earlier, the Rockies and Giants were separated by just a single game in the Wild Card standings, back when there was only one Wild Card. The Rockies then mounted a five run come back against San Francisco in the Saturday game and then saw Ubaldo Jimenez out-duel Tim Lincecum, that year's Cy Young award winner, in the Sunday affair which also included its own two run late inning come back.
