Josh Cordova was the guest of honor at Coors Field on Sunday afternoon.
He received a new chest protector and a blue umpires shirt, and prior to the first pitch, he took the Dodgers’ and Rockies’ lineup cards to home plate.

For those unaware of the circumstances that brought Cordova to Coors Field, here’s a recap:
Cordova, who plays youth ball as a catcher, pitcher and shortstop, was umpiring a Bear Creek Junior Sports Association baseball game in Lakewood on June 15 where a brawl broke out among several adults in attendance.
