The Colorado Rockies are currently in Scottsdale, Ariz. for Spring Training, and the paddles are in full-swing. Wait, paddles? That’s right. The Rockies took a break from baseball to host a ping-pong tournament involving the entire organization.
Wednesday morning was the championship game, and pitted a former player against a current front office member. Former Rockies great and Blake Street Bomber Vinny Castilla came up short against Senior Director of Player Development Zach Wilson in a wire-to-wire thriller.

Castilla did have some quality pregame music before the championship, as a mariachi band provided him some pump-up tunes.
