This current Colorado Rockies‘ disappointing season has left me in search of some inspiration. So, of course, I turn to the comeback story that is the 1989 classic, Major League.
Every baseball fan knows the scene in that movie. Manager Lou Brown unveils a cardboard cutout of their diabolical owner with strategically placed pull-off squares covering the picture. Brown turns to his team and explains, “I figure it’s gonna take 32 more victories to win this thing. Every time we win, we peel a section.”
With a 52-60 record and seven games back of the Wild Card, the Rockies are going to need more than 32 wins (more likely 35 to remotely have a chance), but the message remains the same: The Rockies have to start winning now.
