## Resource

Meet Mike Pontarelli, the Rockies’ clubhouse manager since 2016, who’s been part of the team’s fabric for over two decades—starting as a batboy for the Zephyrs before the Rockies even existed. Known as “Tiny,” he’s become a beloved fixture at Coors Field, juggling everything from managing budgets and inventory to tending to the iconic “Coat of Purple” draped on players after homers. With a career built on loyalty, humor, and deep operational savvy, Pontarelli turns behind-the-scenes work into a fulfilling legacy, embodying what it means to be truly part of the furniture—and the heart—of the Rockies.
