In this episode of the On The Rox podcast, Denver Post beat writer Kyle Newman and guest co-host Kevin Henry of Rox Pile reflect on the decade anniversaries of Ubaldo Jimenez’s no-hitter and Keli McGregor’s death. Jimenez tossed the franchise’s first and only no-no on April 17, 2010, in Atlanta. Three days later, McGregor tragically passed away at 48 due to a rare virus that infected the team president’s heart muscle.
Newman and Henry break down Jimenez’s no-hitter and his standing as the Rockies’ greatest starting pitcher ever, plus analyze McGregor’s lasting legacy via Salt River Fields and McGregor Square.
