The Moneymaker Effect - 5 Years Later

Five years ago, were you a poker player? If you’re like myself or millions of others, that answer is “no”. It’s hard to believe, but we’re coming up on the five year anniversary of Chris Moneymaker’s impossible win at the 2003 World Series of Poker. While watching yet another rerun of the final table on ESPN a few days ago, I found myself looking back at what would soon become a cultural phemonenon.

Colorado Rockies Home Opener

Colorado Rockies - The ‘07 National League Champs return to Coors Field for their 2008 home opener. The gritty Rockies go into the ‘08 season as a favorite, unlike last year when they spent the final months of the season accomplishing the impossible.

Troy Tulowitzki hit 24 home runs and 99 rbi’s in his first complete season at the Major League level. He also led the league with a .987 fielding percentage. Matt Holliday had a huge year knocking out 36 homers and driving in 137 runs. Brad Hawpe had another year of improvement hitting 29 home runs with 116 rbi’s. Garrett Atkins, the Rockies third baseman had another great year as well with 25 homers and 111 rbi’s. Add Heltons 17 homers and 91 rbi’s, and what you have is a pitchers nightmare. A team with five players who averaged 26 home runs and 111 rbi’s has to make opposing pitchers sweat. [Read more]
