I truly love the Rockies in a literary sense. As a late comer to MLB, I have come to know and cherish the Rockies.Why?The team is a perfect study in diversity and life cycles!! Who can not relate to an aging Helton? Was the greatest, still is great, but just a notch below.A Fuentes , who was a sensation last year and now struggles to be good.Holiday is as good as there is in the game, yet, a cloud of uncertainty surrounds as to his future here.A group of young overachievers and a Manager who has larger than baseball, life and death struggles. As I look at the complex makeup of the team, I am reminded of each of our daily personal challenges. "The older I get, the better I was" syndrome is unavoidable!! None of us are as we were when we were on top. The adjustment to new and better ways, the acceptance that a new leader is evolving,defines exactly how sucessful we are at life situations.

Accepting valid criticism and still going out to play everyday , is the true measure of an individuals mettle. We all face that same ordeal in daily work and relationships. Rockies baseball is metaphoric.

Please allow myself and eleven other real life characters , diverse as are Rockies players come to witness a victorious Rockies team.
