OK, somebody has to be the dick, I guess it'll be me. This is great, don't get me wrong, but for the amount of ball-washing the press is going to give this story I think it needs to be put into perspective. I don't know how many total playoff shares there are, but for the sake of argument let's say 25 (although it's got to be more like 40, right?). 25 x $362,173 = $9,054,325. So let's pretend they don't give her the extra share: $9,054,325/24 = $377,263.54. So, even with that few shares, each guy is giving up $15,090.54. For a guy making the MLB minimum that's actually meaningful, but Todd Helton made $16,600,000 this year, Matt Holliday $4,400,000, on down to Tulowiski at $381,000. The Rockies total payroll is $54,424,000.

So again, better they do this than not. But I'd like to see the Rockies or Todd Helton match whatever she gets or something like that before I start hailing this as some huge act of charity.
