GRADY PYTLINSKI

You have to dream before your dreams come true. From the time you were tiny, you loved to throw a ball. As a toddler, you would swing a bat for hours. As a preschooler, you acted out entire baseball games in the backyard and imitated the idiosyncrasies of various Rockies players as they came up to bat. Your dreams have always involved baseball, and it has been such a pleasure to watch you work to make your dreams come true. We couldn't be prouder of the man that you have become, both on the mound and in the world. BBE.
