In case you haven’t left your house or live out of town, it snowed in Denver. A lot. Coors Field was covered, in fact, and the Colorado Rockies’ social media team decided to share an extra-white glimpse of the crown jewel of LoDo.
Some time later, the Rox tweeted a photo of newly-signed reliever Mike Dunn holding a snowball and extended a snowball fight invitation to the Twitterverse. The Cincinnati Reds—boasting their own snow-covered ballpark—accepted.
The lineups:

Brilliance from the Rox there. I lost it, personally.
Even the Milwaukee Brewers got involved for a minute—or, should we say, didn’t get involved.

But the Reds quickly took care of that:
.@Brewers @Rockies Here, you can have this one snowball from us...

The Rox got past the noise and finished up strong.

What do you think? Who won? We debated back and forth for a while before eventually coming to a consensus:
The club will now be referred to as the Coorado Rockies because they just gave the Reds an L in the snowball fight https://t.co/ENoXJQocxd

Regardless of who won, the Rockies continued to show that they have a top-flight Twitter account—not only in MLB, but pro sports as a whole. Nice job, everyone.
