Colorado Rockies Manager Jim Tracy Collapses

Early yesterday morning Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy collapsed.  This happened at the baseball winter meeting in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.  He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for test.

He was alert and responsive and was able to stand with assistance before being taken out of the hotel on a stretcher, according to MLB.com.

Tracy was undergoing tests as late as 2:30 a.m. ET, and a diagnosis has not yet been made, The Denver Post reported on its website.

Tracy, who turns 55 on Dec. 31, had driven to the meetings from his home in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., about two hours away, according to MLB.com.

Tracy was named National League Manager of the Year in 2009 after taking over the Rockies in May of that year and leading them to the postseason. The Rockies finished third in the NL West last season.
