And just like that, a great moment for the Colorado Rockies and their franchise shortstop turned into a depressing reflection on how much older we all are. Thanks, Drew.

The point is well taken, though. It does not seem like long ago that Tulo was the exciting rookie on the Rockies squad that looked like it was going to be a perennial playoff team. Now he is starting to add his name to the career accomplishments list for the franchise, to which he will be a frequent contributor if he sticks around long enough.

Congrats to Tulo. Hopefully this is the first of many milestones for him in a Rockies uniform.
