Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is having a ridiculous year, currently posting a .380 batting average with 13 homers and 35 RBI's accumulated to date. But there are accusations that he's using sign stealing as an advantage. San Francisco Giants TV announcer Mike Krukow suggested that during a recent game broadcast in Coors Field in Denver, where Tulo is posting an insane .521 batting average there, possibly due to the high altitude in the area. Krukow suggested that there were other factors in play and that sign stealing was the culprit behind it and that was the only reason for Troy's high numbers.
Tulo's response to the accusations was beyond brilliant. At Wednesday's game, he used Ace of Base's 1992 smash hit "The Sign" as his personal walk-up song. Words cannot explain how unbelievably amazing this move was, as sign stealing has become a common occurrence throughout MLB for quite some time but Troy is an insanely crafty individual for coming up with a perfect response to this using his entrance music, and I have to give him major props for doing this and I've highly respected Tulo ever since he entered the league for being a team leader, and being the model and elite player that others can look up to.
