The resurgence of the Colorado Rockies (19 victories in their last 29 games), has apparently had little to nothing to do with the teams' predominately "old-school" music choices -- and they're not attributing the altitude either. A stuffed squirrel (that's actually a chipmunk) is actually credited with their recent successes.
Outfielder Mark Sweeney keeps "Rocky the Squirrel" an integral part of the team -- complete with team uniform and sweatbands. Perhaps The Beatles' "Rocky Raccoon" would make a good substitute for Van Halen's "Beautiful Girls."
