Fun facts about Colorado Baseball and Coors Field By Roger Harris

PLAY BALL! Denver has been a baseball town for many years. In 1862 the “Denvers” played at George Tebeau field, in 1887 the became the first big league team to play in Denver. In 1901 the Denver team was called the Bears and won 3 league titles. Then in 1917 professional baseball disappeared from Denver. Various Denver Bears teams were in Denver 1922-1932, Then AAA baseball came to Denver in 1955. Many of you remember that Denver was home of the minor league Triple AAA Denver Bears for many years. What you might not know is that the Denver Bears were the Kansas City Blues from 1901-1954. They were pushed out of KC when a major team, the Philadelphia Athletics moved to KC. The Blues moved to Denver in 1955 and became the Denver Bears. The team mostly played at but most knew it as “Bears Stadium”. In 1985 the team changed it name to the Denver Zephyrs (named after the famous passenger train that traveled from Chicago to San Francisco through the Rockies). In 1993 the major came to Colorado. In 1994 the Zephyrs moved to New Orleans where they remained the Zephyrs until 2017 when they were rebranded the Baby Cakes. Kind of a takeoff on King Cakes and Marti Gras. The Baby Cakes had a unique promotion that any child born 2017 or later in Louisiana is eligible for a lifetime pass to the Baby Cakes!

RECORD CROWD WELCOMES THE ROCKIES In 1991 Denver was awarded a National League expansion franchise that would become the Colorado Rockies. On April 9, 1993, the Rockies played their first home game in front of a big league regular season record crowd of 80,227 fans at Mile High Stadium! hit the first for the franchise in the bottom of the first inning! That first year they attracted 4,484,250 fans to watch the Rockies play, another major league record. They continued to play at Mile High Stadium for the 1994 season.

COORS FIELD OPENS Construction on a new Baseball stadium began in lower downtown on October 16, 1992. Dinosaur fossils were discovered during construction including a 1000 lb. Triceratops skull. The stadium was briefly nicknamed Jurassic Park. In 1995 a new stadium was completed at 20th and Blake street, it would be called Coors Field. The first Baseball only field built since in 1962. Coors field opened with a game between the Rockies and the NY Mets on April 26, 1995. The Rockies won after 14 innings. That day I was sitting on the top row behind home plate (above the purple mile high row) with a ticket I had won in a raffle that morning. The seats at Coors Field are green except the 20th row of the upper deck that is 5280 feet above sea level and that row of seats are purple. Coors Field combines the nostalgic feel of a 1920’s ballpark with 21st century technology and comfort. The hand laid brick helps the park blend into downtown Denver with great appeal. Coors Field is owned by the Denver Metropolitan Baseball . It was financed with 75% public funds from a 1% sales tax increase and 25% by private funds the Rockies contributed, and it cost $215m to build originally. Coors Field has a grass field and currently seats 50,398. The Coors Brewing Company has the for the stadium for life. The team and the stadium have already had many memorable events. Hosting the All Star game in 1997, and the in 2007. There was even a no hitter game in 1996 at Coors Field. There have been many Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards achieved at Coors Field as well. The record attendance at Coors Field is 51,267 fans. To compensate for the dry thin air and the possibility of home runs, the Coors Field was extended out. However, Coors Field quickly earned the reputation as a hitter friendly park due to the number of home runs, triples and doubles. A room size was installed to store and homeruns have decreased, but Coors Field remains the most hitter friendly park in the big leagues. After the 2013 season the upper right field seats were converted to an outdoor party deck. In 2018 the scoreboard was expanded 258%.

Beautiful Park, Great Team, Great View, Cold Beer, Great Friends and Baseball. What more can you ask for on a nice summer evening?

Education News Almost Summer! Our Spring CPIM program finishes in June and our CSCP finishes up in May. Our next APICS Classes will start in September.

I guess this is my last Ed article for a while as I am moving into the office of the President in July.

I was Chapter president off and on the past couple decades for 9 terms. The past 7 years as VP

of Education have been especially rewarding to me. I have watched many many folks achieve CPIM, CSCP, CLTD, most taking our classes to help prepare. It is very rewarding to help folks achieve improvement in their knowledge of supply chain management through our programs. I am sure that many many of these folks will use this knowledge to achieve great things in their careers on their way to success. It is fun to be part of it. I will still be instructing classes in all three programs in the future so I will still be part of the educational programs.

Class schedules for the Fall 2017 classes will be published this Summer and will feature CSCP and CLTD hosted in Broomfield and CPIM Part 1 and Part 2 hosted in Englewood. Look for these via mail and email in mid-July. Please register as early as possible so we can let the host companies know we are coming and allow us time to order books and materials.

Please let myself or Honey Johnson know if you would like to schedule a discussion about a private APICS course for your company, we can accommodate a variety of formats.

Thank you all for your support of the educational programs this year and in the past, we have one of the best APICS Education programs on the planet and I am sure that will continue next year.

If you have questions, you can contact me at 303-271-1818 x105 or [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you in a course in the future. Have a fantastic Summer 2018!
