How can you not be romantic about baseball?
I don’t wanna lose your love
With Centerfield playing over the speakers, that’s a great touch!
One of my favorite players over his career. What a stud. Hope he goes off today.
What a legend! He’ll be missed by Rockies fans.
Retiring his number would be great. But retiring beards entirely would be a real honor. The Rockies should start a no beard policy so no one can have a beard like him again
So, is he HOF material?
Man, I’m going to hate seeing him retire. One of my favorite players to watch.
Won’t miss him playing against the dodgers, but Blackmon is a dude. Super solid player that Rockies fans had the fortune of having his whole career
awesome. glad he got to go out at home so he could get this
Hell of a career Chuck Nazty! Loved the way he played the game even though he stepped all over my snakes.
Having your all star player stay on your team their entire career is something special
Gonna be weird not seeing him on the Rockies. Dude also just looks like a mountain man, he even fit the brand.
I spent a year in Denver and went to Rockies games as much as I could. Charlie Blackmon was my favorite player to watch. He had the beard, the flair, the love of the game. Best walk up song in MLB. Gonna miss watching this guy play!
Imagine he just cuts all his hair and beard off immediately when he retires
Not even a Rockies fan and this man took over the song Your Love for me.
Ngl, that definitely brought some tears to my eyes. As a fellow NL Wester, he’s been a visiting favorite for a long time.
One of my favorite out-of-town players. Loved watching this dude.
Now look, while they stand tough, notice that the Dodgers do not have their hands up.
.775 OPS vs the Giants. Felt like 1.100
Man, I love this stuff.
Anyone ever have those players that are retiring and it gets decent fanfare and you check their reference page and it turns out they had a lengthy one team career, and you never heard of them?
That’s Charlie Blackmon for me.
I must have skipped every Rockies-Jays series.
I know he was crying under those shades 100% trying to play it cool. Hope they retire his number
Man I get hes retiring, and I know he isnt the youngest player…
But I dont think he’s “Needs a number on the field to remind him his fielding position” kinda old. Cmon Colorado!
I’m in the UK and not particularly a baseball fan but caught this clip. I love the fact in most sports, clubs, teams, fans pay tribute like this, always gets me.
Do you even know who fuckin’ John Fogerty is??
Manager also pulled him before his 500 PA, which triggers a bonus.
Colorado based Cubs fan. Gonna miss me some Chuck Nasty. Always put him in my MLB the Show lineup. Put the beard on today’s game before Philly over did it. 😜
cryin at the maroon bells rn
He can shave now and live his life in anonymity as a millionaire!
