The scenes from Coors Industry on Thursday prior to the Rockies hosting the NL West rival Dodgers were just incredible.
A enormous hail storm produced photos of a wintertime wonderland in June as thick chunks of ice coated the field, dugouts and seats.
Colorado catcher Elias Díaz took entire edge of the weather by making a ‘hail angel’, replicating the iconic creations of snow angels typically reserved for the winter season months in Denver.
