Nine-Years Ago (08-May-2008) — Colorado

Denver Colorado Rockies Baseball Game.

One of the things I got to do while working part-time in Boulder was to take the SIRNA group to a Major League Baseball game at Coors field. This would be our second ballgame, but unfortunately the last one prior to the Boulder SIRNA site being shut down. I had a lot of fun taking pictures, both of the ball game and the folks I had been working with in Boulder. We took a bus from the Boulder site to the ball game, then had a great afternoon. Norm’s hotdog looks to be more than a foot long.
