Scottsdale, Ariz. — One year ago today, the Colorado Rockies played their last spring training game of 2020, tying the Cincinnati Reds 5-5 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.
At the time, none of us (including myself, who was covering the team that week in person) knew that that would be the last spring action of the season.
