Since coming to Colorado, LaTroy Hawkins has volunteered at a local homeless
shelter, serving meals and providing comforting words to homeless families. He
also helped paint an old hotel that has been converted into a shelter for
homeless families. Before being sent out of town for a rehab assignment
earlier this season, he was looking forward to visiting local elementary schools
and participating in other community events. LaTroy is a strong supporter of
the "Baseball Assistance Team" (BAT), which helps members of the baseball
family most in need with their financial, psychological or physical burdens. He
also participates with the MLB Players Trust, a charitable foundation that calls
attendtion to important issues affecting the needy and helps encourage others
to get involved in their own communities.
A 10-year veteran of the Major Leagues, LaTroy Hawkins joined the Rockies this
season after pitching successfully for the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs,
Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles. He was an All-State performer in
baseball and basketball in high school.
