“Spilly” has started a movement that hopefully cannot be stopped.
During the fifth inning of Friday night’s Rockies-Diamondbacks game, Ryan “Spilly” Spilborghs was watching the “Legends Race” at Chase Field. He commented that the Rockies should have their own version of the race at Coors Field.
Spilly, the former outfielder who’s now a TV analyst for Rockies games on AT&T SportsNet, suggested a race featuring either the Blake Street Bombers or Rockies legends Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki and, perhaps, Charlie Blackmon when he retires.
For the uninitiated, in-game races are cool.
The racers are essentially human-sized bobbleheads that run around the dirt perimeter of the field.
