Former Colorado Rockies slugger Matt Holliday has arrived at Coors Field as the enemy for the first time. He is hoping for another celebration at the ballpark on Blake Street, this time with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals are on the cusp of winning the NL Central and a victory at Colorado on Friday night will send them back to the playoffs for the first time since winning the 2006 World Series.
They also could clinch if the Cubs lose at San Francisco.
Holliday spent a decade in the Rockies' organization and led Colorado to its only NL pennant in 2007. He was traded to Oakland last winter and then was dealt to St. Louis this summer.
