Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake Cave removes his gear after reaching second base in a game against the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field in Denver on Friday, July 19, 2024. I’ve been following the Rockies since their beginning in 1993. My favorite player in those first years was Dante Bichette. He was such a clutch power hitter and I loved his coach Don Baylor. Baylor believed in Bichette and they were friends. In 2020 the Rockies signed Connor Joe. He was a cancer survivor who was inspiring.
Cave, now my favorite Rockies player of all time, is a real-life Crash Davis with a gray beard and a relentless engine. He is playing each game with desperation as if the Rockies are going to send him back to the minors. He makes me believe the Rockies might completely turn it around for the second half of the season.
As to my response to “Thank you for your service!” it will depend on my mood of the moment. Usually, I simply shake their hand and move on. But, occasionally, I will continue to shake their hand and say that if they actually wanted to thank me, then promise to not waste any more young, naive patriots in any war fought for no reason such as Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. When I let go of their hand, off the sincere citizen goes at double time.
