He Was a Rockie?

Yesterday's Recap

The Roxs made the best of their do-over and won 2-1. Great start by Kip and Tulo showed some offensive prowess.

For a weekly column I want to reach back into the vast history of the Roxs and preview a player that we hardly knew...for Week 1 of the season I put forth the following player

Howard Johnson
Best known as HoJo and a Met, he joined the Roxs in 1994. Played Left Field for the Roxs in their last season at Mile High Stadium. Played in 93 games and batted an anemic 0.211 with 10 home runs. Not quite like his two All Star years in NY. I remember sitting behind him at Mile High on a week night game. I loved his gritty get dirty mentality. He was a gamer unfortunately he was out of gas by the time he got to Denver.
