Being a native and living in Colorado for over 70 years, I would like to take some of my High School Classmates to a Rockies game.

We have monthly dinner meetings and have a great time going to different restaurants in the Denver area. We are group of about 15 guys!

Some of us played baseball together in OldTimers, Legion Ball, and South High School in Denver. We also attended ball games at Merchant's Park the newly built Denver Bears Stadium. I also played baseball at Bears Stadium for South High School.

Remembering back to Bears Coach Andy Cohen and players like Whitey Ford, Pete Whizinate, Curtis Roberts and many more playing ball in the late 40's and early 50's, after the new stadium was built. General admission seats were concrete and about .50 cents to get in.

I didn't see the triple A Denver Zephers much because of my work at the Climax mine in the Leadville area. Before we had the Rockies, I was a St Louis Cardinals fan as a kid. But now we have had the Rockies to love for over 10 years.

"GO ROCKIES"!

Truly yours,
Kent Stockton
