Colorado Rockies’ Ryan McMahon makes $1 million donation to Children’s Hospital

There’s been very little good news to come from the Colorado Rockies again this season. But put wins and losses aside, and appreciate a great human we have on the club in Ryan McMahon.

The Rockies third baseman and his wife, Natalie, say they are donating $1 million to the Children’s Hospital of Colorado.

McMahon says he and his wife, who recently became parents, liked the idea of helping children in need.

Part of the donation will go to a hospital endowment that dispenses funds to help families make ends meet as they care for ailing children. Some of the money will also be used for direct aid to families.

McMahon has a six-year, $70 million contract that runs through 2027.
