Rejoice, Colorado Rockies fans, for pitchers and catchers report soon

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

For the Colorado Rockies, their fans, and the citizens of Colorado, any excitement about baseball season is completely overshadowed at the moment by Super Bowl fever. The Denver Broncos will take on the Seattle Seahawks (and former Rockies farmhand Russell Wilson) in Super Bowl 48. All eyes are on Peyton Manning and the men in orange and blue.

The Rockies are doing their part to support the cause.

So we will cheer for the Broncos and get through the fallout, win or lose, together. And once that gigantic hype wagon passes, we move on to baseball.

Rejoice, Rockies fans, for pitchers and catchers report soon.

I’d like to remind everyone that Rockies pitchers and catchers report in 15 days. So there.

That number is now down to 13 days. Let’s all do a happy dance with Manny Corpas.

As a kid, I once crouched down like a catcher, held a colander over my face, and declared: "I am Damon Berryhill." I think most people would find that to be an early sign of an obsession with the game, if not a somewhat peculiar taste when it came to picking a favorite player. I was born and raised in Colorado Springs and now live in Rochester, Minnesota. I have been with Fansided since November of 2011.
