I found this article on the Sky Sox Website and thought I\u2019d share. Tried e-mailing the story directly to this blog but for some reason that\u2019s not working (it might show up some time). You can view the original 3 October story here<\/a>. It does make you wonder why the Sky Sox have not made it to the Championship game in recent history J<\/span> And dad please notice the Todd Helton was a Sky Sox in the 1996-1997 and 2005 \u2013 2006 seasons, I told you he was here but you never believe me\u2026 And I guess we now know why the Sky Sox beat the Rockies earlier this year… 13 of the current roster were on the Sky Sox roster this year… amazing!<\/p>\n
