Orioles' Jackson Holliday returns to Coors Field, where he learned at the feet of his father
DENVER (AP) — Baltimore Orioles rookie second baseman Jackson Holliday returned Friday to Coors Field, the ballpark where he learned some of his earliest baseball lessons as a toddler at the feet of his father, former Colorado Rockies star Matt Holliday. “It’s very special,” Holliday said before the Orioles beat the Rockies 5-3. “It’s kind of hard to explain growing up watching my dad play here for so long. I’m glad to be able to be here at the end of the year, and just excited to have a bunch of family and friends.” Holliday’s father, his mother, Leslee, and younger brother Ethan traveled from their Oklahoma home to be on hand for the weekend series between Baltimore and Colorado, where Matt Holliday bookended his 15-year major league career. Matt broke into the majors with the Rockies in 2006 and helped the franchise to its only NL pennant in 2007. After stints with Oakland, St. Louis and the New York Yankees, Holliday rejoined the Rockies late in 2018, his final season.

Baltimore remained 1 1/2 games behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees.
