DENVER – Before the wonderfully talented Gord Downie, the frontman of The Tragically Hip, passed away of brain cancer recently, he released a solo album titled “Introduce Yourself.” The first line in the second song for that record is, “Hey kids, Wolf’s home.” Downie followed up later in the song with, “I didn’t run, I didn’t vanish when I was afraid.”
On Saturday Jon Gray—The Wolf of Blake Street—reintroduced himself to Coors Field. He didn’t run in what was a pivotal start for the young stud, he shoved.
In the Colorado Rockies’ 4-1 win over the Seattle Mariners, Gray threw 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball to the tune of just five hits a walk and six strikeouts.
