Jackson Holliday's wife Chloe documents husband's adorable reunion with pup Coconut following Orioles' away game in Colorado
The former first overall pick, Jackson Holliday, was with the Baltimore Orioles to play the three-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. In his absence, Holliday's wife Chloe and their pup Coconut missed him dearly.
Holliday and the Orioles clinched the three-game series with a 6-1 win in Sunday's game. The rookie played all three games, going 3-11, along with one RBI, one walk and two stolen bases.
After winning the series on Sunday, Holliday returned to Baltimore and was immediately overwhelmed by his pup, Coconut, who seemed excited and jumped on him as the Orioles infielder embraced him. Chloe perfectly captured the heartwarming reunion, sharing it with her followers on social media.
"All together again," Holliday's wife wrote in her story.
Earlier in the day, Chloe shared a photo of Coconut enjoying homemade chicken gnocchi soup.
Chloe and her pet Coconut have often attended Holliday's games at Harbour Park when the rookie was with the Norfolk Tides, as well as at Camden Yards, now that he's with the Orioles in the majors.
Jackson Holliday catches father Matt Holliday's first pitch
Jackson Holliday comes from a baseball legacy, starting with his father, Matt Holliday, who began his career with the Colorado Rockies.
With both father and son at Coors Field, the Rockies organization decided to honor Holliday Sr. by inviting him to throw the first pitch ahead of Saturday's game.
Matt Holliday was in a Rockies jersey as he threw the first pitch to his son, who was in the Orioles uniform.
Starting in 2004, Matt Holliday's first stint at Coors Field lasted four years, during which he earned three All-Star selections, including NLCS MVP in 2007. The same year he was also National League's RBI leader and batting champion.
He was traded to the Oakland Athletics ahead of the 2009 season. Matt returned to the Rockies in 2018 once again to play his last season in the majors.
