Although work commitments precluded my attendance I wanted to mention that the Rocky Mountain Chapter of SABR and the Rockies held a ceremony earlier this week on Tuesday to commemorate Denver's baseball history. Led by chapter president Neal Williams and including Jim Burris and the son and grandson of Bob Howsam (who built Bears Stadium back in 1948) they unveiled a plaque near Invesco Field commemorating old Bears Stadium/Mile High Stadium, which housed professional baseball in Denver from 1948 to 1994. There were also representatives from the Rockies at the event including Paul Parker SABR member and Rockies club historian as well as Keli McGregor.
In addition, a home plate was placed in the exact spot that it occupied at the old ballpark. Apparently the home plate was a big hit and was located by local hisorians who worked with the city to obtain old photos and use GPS to pinpoint the spot.
From Thomas Harding's piece on MLB.
"Bears Stadium opened in 1948 with 17,000 seats, and it expanded on several occasions -- first to attempt to attract a Major League franchise, with football being added to the list of priorities in later years. The city of Denver bought the park and renamed it Mile High Stadium in 1968.
The Triple-A team was known as the Denver Zephyrs from 1985 to 1992. The Rockies fulfilled Colorado's Major League dreams and played at Mile High, which had grown to more than 76,000 seats, in 1993 and 1994 before moving into Coors Field in 1995."
College Football is finally here folks, and what a way to start the season, my beloved Longhorns demolished North Texas(56-7) in a tune up for next weeks big game against #1 Ohio State. The Rams of Colorado State were also victorious as they beat up on Weber State setting the stage for next weeks Rocky Mountain Showdown at Invesco Field at Mile High in Denver. As many of you know, or maybe don't know but i like collecting concert gig posters and recently came across what has to be one of the coolest posters i have seen, i searched all over ebay and came across it so this is the newest poster to my collection it's from a Killers concert in Philadelphia, it kinda reminds me of some 80's Duran Duran type poster. I guess that's all i have for now, before i forget I will not be making my pilgrimage to Austin, Texas this month for Austin City Limits as originally planned, but hopefully all my peeps back home will enjoy themselves and i will see you guys soon. I also wanted to tell somebody out there that I miss you dearly and hopefully i will see you soon..(you know who you are, in fact i know you read this because i can track everybody that reads this blog). And last but not least i have my end-of-summer mix cd for all to share stay tuned in the next couple days for tracklisting and cover....all my fellow bloggers will enjoy as i have tried to include a song for everybody that follows music as i do. (especially for you Mr. Ultra 8201)

p/s....a bit of advice..always remember to turn your phone off before class, as it just might go off to your Britney Spears ringtone that your friend changed on your phone while you were drunk and had no idea as to what the hell was going on. (i'm not saying that happened to me, it's just sound advice)
