rockies fans in arizona

We went to our first real baseball game in Arizona. I guess the spring training game we saw at the practice stadium doesn't count towards a real season game. So tonight, we did. It wasn't Coors Field. But it was the good ol' Colorado Rockies vs. the Arizona Diamond Backs. We were in a sea of red proudly wearing our black and purple. Sticking out like...Rockies fans should.

It was certainly different watching baseball in an indoor stadium. But, I guess in Arizona, if you aren't inside an air conditioned stadium you wouldn't be watching baseball. Outdoors anyway. The walk from the parking lot to the stadium was enough to cause our foreheads to glisten.
These three were the cutest Rockies fans. Notice the lady behind Austin doing her best to ignore us. We did have some guys in the deck behind us that were from Colorado too. Nice to have a little support.

The Rockies made it on the scoreboard first and it stayed one to zip for a couple of innings.

Then the D'backs hit a two run home run. That's when the guy down in front of us turned around and heckled us. He stood up, turned towards us and yelled... "how do you like THAT Rockies fans?" We laughed. And the next time they played the rally song, we shouted, "let's go Rockies" just a little louder. Besides, we knew the guy behind us would stick up for us.

The Rockies, looking a little bleak later in the game had a little team meeting on the mound. Chuck said it was a "group hug."
It didn't help. In the end they lost. But we still enjoyed the game and we still love our Rockies.
Cuz' we're from Colorado. And people from Colorado don't purposefully heckle the other fans.

Really, we don't.

"Let's go Rockies!"
