Chris Iannetta Hits Game-Winning HR
6 years agoColorado Rockies veteran catcher Chris Iannetta isn't terribly useful at the plate anymore compared to when he was younger, but if it's a 0-0 game with the bases empty, he's surprisingly the best Colorado batter to have at the plate. After drilling a game-winning solo shot in the 11th inning on Wednesday, Iannetta remains one of just two Rockies players to ever hit a home run in a 1-0 Colorado win. However, while only two people have ever done it, Iannetta's actually done it on three separate occasions: Wednesday, last July 4, and July 18, 2010. Iannetta will travel home on the wings of his heroics as the team prepares to host the Dodgers on Friday.
