The Rockies’ ongoing feel-good story opens in Tinsel Town Friday for a three-game set against the mighty Dodgers.
Yep, “The Legend of Connor Joe” just keeps getting better, adding scenes that even a Hollywood screenwriter might reject as too corny.
Joe, the Rockies’ 29-year-old left fielder who battled testicular cancer last year and spent a good chunk of time in the minors this season, hit the first grand slam of his career Wednesday night at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The slam helped the Rockies snag a much-needed 13-10, 10-inning win over the Cubs in the nightcap of a doubleheader.
