| Publisher Description: Images of Baseball: Baseball in Denver shares the city s prominent role in America s great game. The lore of baseball s first pioneers plays out in a real-life soap opera for this Western city. From the early Hall-of-Fame players to the storied baseball-talent barons of Denver s primitive days, baseball has always been on the forefront of the Denver sports horizon. From Tinker to Satchel Paige to The Babe himself, the Mile High City has been a barnstormer s oasis in a town that was nothing short of the Wild West. The Denver Post Tournament and the rich history of the Denver Bears are highlighted, as well as the many fields and landmarks throughout the city. With the inception of the Colorado Rockies, Denver once again set the stage for big-league baseball, which many of Denver s local baseball legends have been no stranger to." |
