Blackmon spent his entire career with the Rockies after being drafted in the second round in 2008, and now he’ll bring the beard into the front office.

Perfect way to end it. Blackmon singled in the fourth, got a big hug, and left in his final MLB game. Blackmon ends his 2024 season with a slash of .256/.329/.412, and while he won’t be heading to Cooperstown, he will deservedly be called one of the great Rockies; helping the team the postseason and being named an All-Star four times.

Blackmon will get a start in center in his final game. The 38-year-old will likely come off the field at some point, and will get a massive ovation as one of the longest tenured — and best — Rockies to play in their short history. Brenton Doyle is not in the lineup with Blackmon getting the nod.

Blackmon hit his 12th homer of the year, and his 226th —and possibly final — homer of his MLB career. The outfielder has already announced that the 2024 season will be his last, and while he definitely slowed down from his elite fantasy seasons, those who have rostered Blackmon in the past should look back on his career with fondness.
