Saturday Night At Coors Field

I went to the Colorado Rockies - Chicago White Sox game Saturday night (the second night in a row, no less) thanks to my friend Mark.  Mark was given 2 tickets to the Rockies game by Steve Fisher, an historian and author who recently retired from the University of Denver's Anderson Academic Commons (the library). They were great seats, on the lower level right behind home plate.  And in a stunning development, the White Sox actually won. Really!  I took a photo to document this once in a lifetime event (Mark is on the left, I am on the right). And by the way, check out Steve Fisher's books on Denver at https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Search?searchmode=anyword&searchoption=Author&aliaspath=%2fSearch&searchtext=steven+fisher.

It appears the unexpected win stunned the White Sox players, too.  They can be seen in the photograph on the right high fiving each other and enjoying their moment in the sun.  They obviously recognized what a rare thing this was, and wanted to enjoy it while it lasted, which was a good thing.  The next day (Sunday), they lost to the Colorado Rockies 10 to nothing, and were hitless until the 9th inning.  Which is all right - it reminds me of when I used to watch them at Comiskey Park back on the South Side of Chicago years ago.  It gives one a feeling of peace to know that some things never seem to change.
