Colorado Rockies - Coors Stadium - July 2, 2011

My kids and I went to Denver for a family reunion and the whole family went to a Rockies game. They played the Royals. A couple of the kids and I went early to watch batting practice (it’s the best time to get a ball or signature). We saw Alex Gordon, but he passed us by despite the fact that I had two cute kids with me in Huskers t-shirts.

The stadium is beautiful and located downtown which makes restaurants really convenient. We sat in the outfield in the sun. Outfield seats are not my favorite, but I do like the view into the dugout. There was a disagreement over a call and the manager of the Rockies threw a cooler onto the field.

I love how casual managers are. Players strike out or miss a play and their manager doesn’t really react. But if the umpire makes a bad call? I love how they lose their cool. And I especially love the physical demonstration of anger – kicking dirt and throwing coolers with ice spilling out like disgust.

Royals won!
