Spring Training Is Only Eight Weeks Away!
I know this is Christmas week, but baseball spring training is only eight weeks away, assuming the labor dispute between owners and players is resolved by then. I am no longer obsessed with baseball, but back when I took the photograph above of Coors Field, under construction in 1994, I was fixsated on the Colorado Rockies, then in their second year of existence, playing games at Mile High Stadium until their new ballpark was completed. Back then, I was at the Coors Field construction site every week, photographing it's progress. Ironically, that year, the players staged a strike in August, which resulted in the cancellation of the playoffs and the World Series. Coors Field's grand opening did not occur until April 25th of the following year. Hopefully, both players and owners have learned their lesson from that experience, and will settle their differences before the season begins. Yeah. Right.
