The Pirates are holding a special "Rooting with Rocco" promotion on Thursday night at the game. $5 from every ticket bought in the section will go to a Rocco DeMaro recovery fund.

Rocco is one of the best friends I've met through this job. We hosted a fantasy football show together in Pittsburgh and he has written for Rotoworld and our magazine the last few years. His day job is an on-air personality for 104.7 in Pittsburgh, where he also hosts a post-game show for the Pirates. He's one of the funniest, loyal, and fantasy football mad people I know.

Rocco suffered a fractured skull while paying softball a few weeks ago and is recovering slowly. More information can be found here. If you read Rocco's Morning After column on Rotoworld and wanted to send him well wishes, you can email him here.
