Colorado Rockies podcast: Our exclusive chat with Charlie Blackmon
There is a lot to more to Colorado Rockies All-Star outfielder Charlie Blackmon than just being a baseball player.
Charlie Blackmon has become known across Major League Baseball not only because of his hitting prowess but also his personality, appearance and quick wit. There’s a reason why FOX has had a microphone on the Colorado Rockies outfielder in each of his last two All-Star Game appearances.
The man known as “Chuck Nazty” is also an avid fisherman and loves being in the outdoors. He also loves letting his personality off the field shine through in some of the commercials he does, including the one below that Blackmon told me in our most recent exclusive sit-down for our podcast series is very likely his favorite one he has ever done.

Last year, when I traveled to Pittsburgh to cover the Rockies in an April series against the Pirates, Blackmon and I sat down to talk about fishing then. The forecast in Pittsburgh that night was for snow so it maybe wasn’t the greatest time to think about standing in a stream, but Blackmon and I had a great conversation about his off-field passion for the outdoors. You can hear that interview by clicking here.
This season, I caught up with Blackmon when the weather was warmer to talk about fishing as well as some of those great commercials that he is a part of, both on television and inside Coors Field. We kept the conversation short this time as part of our “Four Minutes With…” series that we are debuting with our podcasts. We know your time is valuable as is the player we will be interviewing, so these will short segments designed to give you some great information in a small amount of time.
