Rockies Journal: Mason Hooker had a wish; Todd Helton made it come true
Mason Hooker wished upon a star. His wish came true.
At age 3, Mason was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He was a brave but scared little boy, obsessed with baseball and, especially, Rockies icon Todd Helton.
“Baseball helped me think about good things,” Mason said from his home near Grand Junction. “It helped me forget about leukemia.”
It’s a familiar refrain that Rockies fans throw my way.
“Owner Dick Monfort is a cheapskate,” the disgruntled say. “Fans continue flocking to Coors Field, but he doesn’t invest in the team on the field.”
That criticism reached a crescendo recently when I reported that the Rockies’ payroll would take a hit in 2025.
Throughout the Rockies’ difficult 101-loss season, the one positive thing they could count on was their solid and often outstanding defense.
So it was no surprise that center fielder Brenton Doyle, shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and third baseman Ryan McMahon were named Tuesday morning as finalists for the National League’s Rawlings Gold Glove awards.
Three finalists were named for each position. The Gold Glove Award winners will be unveiled on Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m. MST during a “Baseball Tonight” broadcast on ESPN.

Corbin Carroll homers twice off Austin Gomber as Rockies lose series finale 9-4 to Diamondbacks
Before the Rockies’ relievers could even settle into their seats beyond the right-field wall, Corbin Carroll jolted them awake.
Carroll’s 438-foot blast on Austin Gomber’s seventh pitch Wednesday ricocheted off the second-deck facade and landed in the home bullpen, setting the tone for Gomber’s disappointing start, the bullpen’s long afternoon and the Rockies’ 9-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
“Threw a lot of stuff in the middle of the plate,” Gomber said. “The scouting report is most definitely not: ‘Throw stuff in the middle of the plate.’ I’ve done a really good job of that for I feel like the better part of two months now, and today that wasn’t the case.”
