Here’s a sampling of what was said on social media during and after the Braves-Rockies game Wednesday in Denver:
“I loved my dad – of course. He was my hero.”

In his MLB debut, Darius Vines did something no visiting pitcher had ever done at Coors Field in a debut.
As he dazzled in front of family and friends, he also felt the energy of his late father, Randi Vines.https://t.co/xedsPs28KS

Darius Vines' father always told him: "Be humble. You never know when this game's gonna get taken away from you."

Vines kept that in mind as he waited for his opportunity. “Just kind of be where your feet are, and good people will get rewarded," he said.https://t.co/5eFk88Hwz0
