Blog: Rockies Fan Will Miss Yorvit

by Matthew Cerrone on November 15th, 2007 at 6:13 pm

At Up in the Rockies, a Rockies fan blog for MVN, Dan Lucero says goodbye to Yorvit Torrealba, writing, among other things…

“Even though I think the Rockies can upgrade at the position, I’m sad to see Yorvit Torrealba go.  I’ll miss the emotion and the passion he brought to every game behind the plate.  It really felt like Yorvit was the representative of the die-hard Rox fan on the field…

“Some players seem almost robotic as they go about the 162-game grind.  Not Yorvit, especially not during this year’s stretch drive…Sometimes it’s nice to know that the guys we root for care just as much about winning as we do. With Yorvit Torrealba, there was never a doubt. That’s why I’ll miss having him behind the plate.”

…i hate to admit it, especially since this is the opinion of just one fan in colorado, but this write-up from dan, a Rockies fan, has made me far more understanding of this acquisition…
