Living at High Altitude Puts You Closer to God

The Colorado Rockies have found the lord-uh, Jesus Christ. According one of their owners:

"We had to go to hell and back to know where the Holy Grail is. We went through a tough time and took a lot of arrows," says Rockies chairman and CEO Charlie Monfort, one of the original owners.

Monfort did, too. He says that after years of partying, including 18 months' probation for driving while impaired, he became a Christian three years ago. It influenced how he wanted to run the club, he says.

Another holier than thou born again Christian. How fun. If I were on this team I'd stage an orgy in the clubhouse, replete with champagne, hookers, and blow. Not because I normally partake in such activities -- I'd just want to piss off the religious wackos with some harmless immorality.
