Rockies' Tulowitzki blasts 100th career home run at Coors Field
When Troy Tulowitzki touched home plate in the bottom of the third inning of Saturday's contest against the San Francisco Giants shortly after launching a towering shot into the thin Denver air, the moment carried a little more gravitas than usual.
Tulowitzki's third-inning solo shot, after all, gained the shortstop entry into an exclusive club, as he became just the fifth player in history to hit at least 100 home runs at Coors Field.
