Six things we learned at Rockies Fest
On Saturday, a snow-covered Coors Field welcomed fans to Rockies Fest 2025. A staff member told me 5,000 fans were expected to attend, and although I cannot confirm that number, it was a busy — if cold — day at the ballpark.

But between the autograph sessions and Dinger selfies, some nuggets emerged worth considering. (A few of these topics, I plan to explore at length later.)
