Charlie Blackmon

Shohei Ohtani went 1 for 4 and fell short in his bid to become the National League s first Triple Crown winner since 1937, stealing his 59th base to help the Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the Colorado Rockies 2-1 in Charlie Blackmon s final game

Charlie Blackmon, the four-time All-Star who has played 14 seasons with the Rockies, tipped his cap in center field to fans one last time as he heads into retirement.

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 reach a World Series and making four All-Star games.

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.
