He Was a Rockie?

Yesterday's Recap

Whew...the Roxs were finally on the winning end of a tight game. The Roxs trailed until the bottom 8th when Tulo got on and Holliday hit a go ahead homer to put them on top. Cook pitched a great 7 innings but ended up with a no decision. He certainly deserved a win and if April turns out to be an ok month they will point to this performance as the turning point. He earned his new salary for this one!

He was a Rockie?

Week 2 of the he was a Rockie is Dale Murphy who was Mr Brave for much of the late 70s and most of the 80s. An All-Star and MVP winner for the Braves he hit a career 398 homeruns. Picked up by the Roxs early in their first season in 1993 (I am sure for veteran leadership and stability) he played in a brief 26 games, scoring one run and getting 6 hits and striking out 15 times. Obviously the game had moved on but he did wear the purple.
