If ever a team needed a walk-off hero it was the Rockies. And if ever a player needed to be a hero, it was Rockies all-star right fielder Charlie Blackmon.

“We were down, what, four runs, with two outs, going into the (last) inning?” Blackmon said. “We could have packed up and gone home, but our guys didn’t do that.
