Who’s that rocking the Armani suit on the cover of Denver Magazine’s second issue? Why, that’s Matt Holliday, left-fielder, All-Star, and local hottie. Matt is used to being drooled-over by the sports press, but his appearance on DM’s cover marks his official debut in the general media. So why did we choose Matt for the cover? Because as one of the Rockies’ brightest stars, he’s fast becoming a household name.

But Holliday isn’t trading in his Rockies uniform for a career on the runways of Milan and Paris just yet. As the National League MVP runner-up, Holliday had 36 homeruns to his name for the 2007 season and led the League in total bases, hits, and doubles. He is widely lauded as being instrumental to the Rockies success in winning the NL pennant. And you don’t give up a career like that just to hang out with Heidi and Cindy and whoever won that “Make Me A Supermodel” show.
