It’s official. Charlie Blackmon announced his retirement on Monday, and the final week of the season has been dedicated to honoring his illustrious 14-year career playing mile high baseball.
There have been so many on- and off-field moments throughout Blackmon’s tenure that endeared him to so many fans and helped keep the Rockies on the map. He means a lot to this franchise, and has meant a lot to fans across Denver, Major League Baseball, and the world.
In light of this news, the Purple Row staff wanted to share their memories of the bearded outfielder and what he meant to them as Rockies fans.
