A few days after Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon announced that he will be retiring after this season, he shared a special moment on the field with his parents before Thursday's game, which kicked off the start of his final weekend as an MLB player.
His parents Myron and Ellen were able to throw out the first pitch ahead of Thursday afternoon's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. Blackmon stationed himself at home plate to catch the pitches thrown by his dad.
