Keli McGregor's legacy lives on

DENVER -- It's been a year since Rockies President Keli McGregor, a 6-foot-7 fitness fanatic and former NFL player who was the picture of health, died on a business trip in Utah at age 48, sending shock waves through the club and the Colorado sports and business community.

His legacy lives on in many ways big and small, both in Colorado and in Arizona, where the planning and construction of the Rockies' new spring training complex in Scottsdale consumed much of his final years.

Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of McGregor's death, and reminders of him are everywhere.
