HBT: Rockies visit Aurora shooting victims

The Rockies did a good thing:

After playing a game in Phoenix on Wednesday night, the Rockies arrived in Denver at about 3 a.m. Thursday. On the message board inside the clubhouse, a notice was posted asking for volunteers to meet with victims at the hospital.

Jim Tracy and 11 players showed up to visit the victims of last week?s Aurora shooting: Todd?Helton,?Michael Cuddyer,?Eric Young Jr.,?Matt Belisle,?Josh Roenicke,Christian Friedrich,?Jordan Pacheco,?Josh Rutledge,?Rex Brothers,?Drew Pomeranz,?Adam Ottavino?and?Mike Ekstrom.

Tracy said that it would have been a bigger group but that since they were visiting the intensive care unit they had to limit their numbers.

Check out the story. Lots of good quotes from the players putting things in perspective.
