Explore the History of Baseball in Denver

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - May 10, 2013 - PRLog -- The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Images of Baseball series is Baseball in Denver from local author Matthew Kasper Repplinger II. The book includes over 200 images chronicling the growth and change of the sport in Denver.

Images of Baseball: Baseball in Denver shares the city's prominent role in America's great game. The lore of baseball's first pioneers plays out in a real-life soap opera for this Western city.

From early Hall-of-Fame players to the storied baseball-talent barons of Denver's primitive days, baseball has always been on the forefront of the Denver sports horizon. Baseball legends such as Tinker to Satchel Paige to "The Babe" himself, have made the Mile High City a barnstormer's oasis in a town that was nothing short of the Wild West.

The Denver Post Tournament and the rich history of the Denver Bears are highlighted as well as the many fields and landmarks throughout the city. With the inception of the Colorado Rockies, Denver once again set the stage for big-league baseball, which many of Denver's local baseball legends have been no stranger to.
