This is a very interesting article about the Colorado Rockies who are playing in the World Series. This article "Rockies Place Their Faith in God, and One Another," is in the New York Times. Whether you are a baseball fan or not, the article emphasizes that some professional players and teams are more interested in character than in talent. The following statement, by reliever Jeremy Affeldt, summarizes well the attitude of the team. “When you have as many people who believe in God as we do, it creates a humbleness about what we do,” Affeldt said. “I don’t see arrogance here, I see confidence. We’re all very humbled about where this franchise has been and where it is now, and we know that what’s happening now is a very special thing.” I'm going to be watching and pulling for the Rockies when they play the Red Sox this World Series.
