Let’s talk about Trevor Story, his night for the ages and the impressive run the Colorado Rockies have been on since the calendar turned to September.

On his latest Rockie Road podcast, our own Jake Shapiro has audio of Story’s massive three home runs, including his 505-foot bomb that was the longest in the history of the Colorado Rockies, Coors Field and Statcast. The effort at the plate earned Story plenty of national attention, including a spot on ESPN with Scott Van Pelt. It also helped the Rockies stay undefeated in September.

Of course, Colorado outfielder Carlos Gonzalez had some things to offer about Story’s night after the game, including some one-liners you won’t want to miss.

Lost in some of the shuffle of Story’s three home run night is the fact that he also topped the 30-homer mark for the season and has a very realistic chance of becoming a member of the 30-30 club. Story’s speed should give him opportunities to reach the mark of 30 stolen bases (he currently has 25 stolen bases this season).

The 30-30 club is great, but Story is putting up impressive numbers in numerous categories. That’s the focus of this article that Shapiro wrote, highlighting just how historic of a season the 25-year-old Texas native is putting together.

Shapiro also talks to Colorado starting pitcher Jon Gray inside the Rockies clubhouse as the right-hander prepares to take the mound on Friday night against Clayton Kershaw in the opener of a gigantic three-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Rockies at 20thand Blake. Gray shrugs off any pressure associated with going against Kershaw or being the opening pitcher in this critical three-game series. After all, every game in September is crucial with the Rockies owning a 1.5-game lead in the National League West heading into Thursday’s play and chasing their first-ever division title.
