Rockies left-hander Ty Blach remembers well an at-bat he took against Kevin Gausman way back in the day.Blach was a senior at Regis Jesuit High School. Gausman was a junior at Grandview.“I was hitting against Kevin and I remember thinking, ‘I’ve never faced a fastball like that before,’ ” Blach said Sunday before the Rockies hosted the Blue Jays at rainy Coors Field. “He must have been throwing a 95 mph fastball.

La iridiscente garganta del macho brilla más que un centavo de cobre reluciente y, como la mayoría de los colibríes, zumba por el aire revoloteando con curiosidad justo delante de los humanos que los contemplan. La primera vez que Mike Parr, presidente de American Bird Conservancy, vio uno, estaba alimentándose de las flores de un limonero en California.“Fue uno de esos lugares de otro mundo. Fue casi como una experiencia religiosa”, dice Parr con asombro y reverencia.“Cuando giran la cabeza y, de repente, su garganta capta la luz, se ilumina con un color increíble. Es mágico, de verdad. Se ilumina como un faro”.Es uno de los colibríes más pequeños, con poco más de 7 cm, pero uno de los más combativos.Según el Laboratorio de Ornitología de Cornell, vuelan la asombrosa distancia de 6.276 km (solo ida) desde Alaska, donde viven en verano, hasta México, uno de los viajes migratorios más largos del mundo en comparación con...
