A Good Reason To Cheer A Deep Playoff Run For Rockies

[UNHWildCats]

Besides their surprising 14-1 finish to the season, the Colorado Rockies (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=col) are giving baseball fans another reason to cheer for them this postseason.

The widow of Rockies Double-A coach Mike Coolbaugh (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6760), who died after getting hit by a line drive earlier this season, will be granted a full share of the team's playoff winnings after a team vote.

That is cool. I still hope the Phils come back, but if they don't....Go Rockies.

theres always nice stories for playoff share votes.... The Red Sox were so thankful for Nomars trade value in 2004 that on top of him receiving a World Series Ring, which any player who is on the 25 man roster for even 1 day during a season gets, they also voted him a full playoff share.
