Monday is a dream day doubleheader for Colorado sports fans: You can catch the Rockies’ home opener in the afternoon and the NCAA men’s basketball championship in the evening. If you haven’t already passed out in pleasurable anticipation, devote today to a pregame shopping warm-up.
Go, uh, George Mason!
Yeah, we know you tore up your bracket last weekend when none of your teams made the Final Four. But no one else needs to know you’re not a prognosticating genius. Wearing this March Madness bracket tee will make it look like you knew about George Mason all along. $17.99. BIGVARSITY.COM
Made in the shades
The weather promises to be mostly sunny for the Rockies’ opening day, so ensure your seats are squint-free with kids’ sunglasses. These brand-new wraparound shades have unbreakable lenses, spongy frames and a Velcro closure, making them easy to wear and hard to lose. And they come in cool colors – we like the turquoise with Rockies’ purple polka dots. $14.95. FRUBISHADES.COM
Sports has upsets, but keep your belly calm
Game-day food and indigestion go together like Florida and Gators. Soothe your system naturally with these Heartburn Free! heartburn tablets made from orange peel extract. $23.80. VITAMIN COTTAGE
