Mercifully so, in the case of the Colorado Rockies. The end of the baseball season in Denver is just a week away. The Rockies were terrible this year, which is actually a big improvement over last year, when they were horrendous. However, there is one noteworthy event taking place. Todd Helton, the Rockies' star first baseman, is retiring at the end of the season. Fortunately, I was able to take a photograph of him last night sitting in the stands, resting up for the game (see above). I have to admit, Todd is looking a little older these days. He came up to bat in the bottom of the 9th inning, bases loaded, with a chance to win the game - but, like Casey at the Bat, struck out. Next time start your rest period earlier, Todd!
