The Colorado Rockies are headed to the World Series - for the first time ever! Now you see I was a fan way back when Starter jackets were cool. In Junior High, my very first and only Starter jacket was the Colorado Rockies jacket. I knew they would do something big one day, so naturally I chose their jacket – that and I liked their colors. The Miami Dolphins teal was just not my color and my twin sister had the Broncos jacket, so I went for the pretty purple, black and white. Man, I wish I had that jacket today. It’s probably been sold 10 times at Goodwill.

All season the Rockies have been receiving some good will from Matt Holliday who has a .340 batting average and hit a 3-run homer in last night’s National League series to give his team the go ahead win and a trip to their first World Series. He leads the NLCS post season with four homeruns. I’d like to think his homerun ability comes from his home base – Oklahoma. You see he’s married to a girl that grew up in the same home town as me, Chickasha, Oklahoma. I can almost bet she’s a factor in his slugfest. Behind every good batter is a great wife.
