DENVER — Charlie Blackmon , the beloved outfielder of the Colorado Rockies, announced his retirement on Monday following 14 years with the team. Chuck Nazty, as he's lovingly referred to, was drafted by the Rockies with the 72nd overall pick in 2008 and has spent his entire career in the Mile High City. According to the team, his 14-season Major League career with the Rockies is the second-most in franchise history, trailing only Todd Helton.
Known for his iconic beard and catchy walk-up song by The Outfield, the 4-time All-Star has left his mark on the team. Blackmon, 38, has 1,797 hits, 226 home runs and 797 RBIs. In his announcement, Blackmon thanked his family, including his wife, Ashley, and their children. 'I don't know what is on the other side of the fence, but I take solace in knowing one thing remains constant. Although names and faces will change, the game will continue to be played,' Blackmon said.
