The Colorado Rockies – the team losing 0-2 in the World Series – have garnered some attention for their faith-based baseball. My friend Patton Dodd, loyal member of the Red Sox Nation (no matter what he might say) even wrote before the Series that God was on the Rockies side.
Whenever we think of sports and Jesus, we think of all the players thanking Jesus when they win. There have been more than a few Christian books by victorious athletes thanking Jesus. And there isn’t anything wrong with that. We’re supposed to thank God for everything.
