Hill's Head

Glenallen Hill is wearing a helmet as he coaches first base for the Rockies. Looks like he's taking the dangers of the position seriously. Good for him, and I hope it starts a trend.

The Rockies just took a 3-2 led in the top of the fifth as Holliday drives in Tulowitzki. Troy singles, stole, moved up to third on a wild pitch so he was in position to score on the hit.

Update: Atkins and Hawpe add hits to drive in three more runs as the Rockies go up 6-2 on San Diego in their effort to climb in the wild card race.

Update: Mike Cameron brings the Padres back to a one run deficit with a three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth. He hit it to dead-center. At PETCO, it's even more impressive.

Update: Sledge and Kouzmanoff drive in three more as the Rockies bullpen falls apart. The Padres are up 8-6.

Update: The hits keep coming as Pete LaForest homers to chase Affeldt from the game. He faced five batters, didn't get an out, and all five scored. The Padres are still up in an eight-run fifth.

Update: The hits keep on coming as the Giles brothers combine for another run as the inning ends with nine runs scoring with two outs and the Padres lead 11-6.

"Glenallen Hill is wearing a helmet..."

Are you sure? It's been a few years, but I remember Hill having a pretty big head...

There aren't any glass coffee tables near first base.

I was at the spring training game where Hill got beaned in the noggin by a foul ball in Peoria at the M's complex on March 9. Everyone in the place gasped when Hill hit the dirt. Between that and the Coolbaugh incident, it's no surprise that Hill is the pioneer here.

Hill wore the helmet on Wednesday as well. It has no earflaps, but better than nothing...

Do you know the odds of that happening again...astronomical! What's next, wearing a helmet in the shower just in case you slip?
