The following two seasons, Charlie spent the majority of the time between the Rockies and their AAA minor league team, as they didn’t have to play for him.

“It makes my face really dark,” Blackmon said of the beard, slowly beginning to grin. “Like, it’s hard to know what’s going on under there. I wear the eye black and sunglasses a lot of times, so I kind of like that persona — like I’m a machine or something. I don’t have a face or facial expression. I’m just a ‘Terminator’ or something.”
