I ran across the photograph above from 1994 the other day, showing my sister Susan and brother-in-law George as we were about to tour the inside of Coors Field, which was under construction at the time in Lower Downtown Denver. That was the year the longest strike in Major League Baseball history began, and which didn't end until the following year. The grand opening of Coor's Field was delayed until April 26th, to the great dismay of Colorado Rockies fans. And sadly, it is beginning to look like history is about to repeat itself, as baseball players and owners cannot reach an agreement during this current strike, and the first two series of the season have already been canceled. From the articles I have read, the consensus is that the owners are most to blame, but I say a pox on both their houses, just to be sure.
