Nearing the end of his six-month stay at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Troy, a patient, used his new motorized wheelchair to enter a conference room for what he thought was going to be a media interview about his stay and his upcoming return to his native Wyoming. Once he entered the room, he was surprised by the presence of Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl, pitcher Kyle Freeland, shortstop Trevor Story … and Dinger.
Troy took to the Rockies trio like they were old friends, talking about his love for the Minnesota Twins (his still favorite team, he admitted) and telling in detail about how he ended up in that wheelchair.
