To ink or not to ink: Rockies interesting connection to MLB pitcher tattoo rule

Kyle Freeland’s right arm is a treasure trove of tattoos.

It’s covered with Colorado tributes like a columbine, numbers 303 and 5,280, mountains, evergreens, snow, letters and symbols for his family, Machine Gun Kelly lyrics, a clock that says 8:14, memorializing the moment the Rockies drafted him in 2014, and more. You can see them for yourself in this video:

Another Rockies lefty, Lucas Gilbreath, who also happens to be a Colorado native, also has a right-arm sleeve complete with a collage of Colorado scenery, the words “Stronger when opposed,” a compass on his elbow, and more.
