Every Rockie Ever #29: Eric Young and Son

It's common for MLB players to eventually have children grow up to be professional players as well. The fun part is when those children end up playing for the same team as their father. In the history of the Rockies they have just one father/son duo in the form of Eric Young Sr. and Jr. An original Rockie in 1993, Sr. was a key player for the Rockies until he was traded in 1997, and he eventually came back to coach. The brothers reflect on his offensive prowess and iconic home opener home run at Mile High Stadium. Then they look to the career of Jr who played several years with the Rockies in a part-time role from 2009-2013. Known mostly for his quick speed, Jr. didn't have as notable a career as his dad, but hey they starred in a great commercial together! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
