A tree grew out of his grave. A rose bush sat nearby. Before long, stories spread that Glava had been a vampire, that he was buried with a stake through his heart and that the stake itsel

When the Colorado Rockies play their final home game of 2026 on Thursday, Sept. 24, the Diamond Dawgs owner plans to serve his last one. “This is my last season,” Watkins says. “I’m excited about it.
