Colorado Rockies with Wade Boggs - A Day's Work

Wade Boggs and SB Nation have teamed up with Jeep to produce 'A Day's Work', a summer series that profiles some of the most interesting and unique jobs in Major League Baseball stadiums. This week we're off to Coors Field in Colorado to spend the day with Alan Bossart, the visiting clubhouse manager, the longest tenured employee of the Rockies organization now in his 22nd year with the organization. Bossart's job duties outside of making sure opposing teams have what they need while in town to play the Rockies? Humidifying and mudding the baseballs to help combat the offensive fireworks that once defined play in the thin air of the stadium.

As a Yankee fan, thank you for showing the World Series ring from 1996.

No Kenny Powers, no care. We will take John Rocker though.

Putting the baseballs in a humidor in my opinion is basically cheating in a way

[@LemurJackson]

Good thing no one asked
