  "account": "This Halloween, the author flips the script on a question typically pondered by Colorado Rockies fans. Instead of pondering how scary the team can be, the author asks which Rockies would actually survive a horror movie.\n\nThe author starts with Jake McCarthy, who they think could outrun a masked killer due to his sprint speed. They also mention Kyle Karros and TJ Rumfield, who they believe have the patience, discipline and thoughtfulness to survive Jigsaw's traps from the Saw films.\n\nFor zombie movies, the author suggests Hunter Goodman and his 41 home runs. While the author isn't sure how barrel rate translates to fighting zombies, they like Goodman's chances.\n\nThen they turn to Troy Johnston, who they think would not survive the opening scene of Scream, as he is likely to answer the phone and invite the killer inside.\n\nThe author also brings up Coors Field's ghost, Kris Bryant, who they believe has been haunting the Rockies for years.\n\nThe author then asks the Purple Row community to share their thoughts on which current Rockies they would trust to survive a horror movie. They invite readers to share their favorite horror flicks and the Rockies they'd cast in them.",
