Broncos Insider: Why Vic Fangio’s hiring is good news for … the Rockies?

Baseball returns to the Mile High city next week and Rockies fans everywhere can be thankful for the team’s biggest offseason acquisition: Broncos coach Vic Fangio.

Huh?

Let me explain.

Fangio grew up in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, in the early 1960s as a dedicated Phillies fan. His love for the game continued through adulthood as a longtime NFL assistant coach, and in every city Fangio recently called home, something strange happened. Are you superstitious? Because there’s definitely a pattern here…
