Over one hundred and thirty years ago, pioneers arriving in
Colorado during the Civil War era brought the game of baseball to
the high and dry Rocky Mountains frontier. From the days of games
in pastures with no gloves to the high drama of Coors Field and the
Colorado Rockies, baseball and Coloradans have had a love affair
that has continued to flourish over the decades. In THEY CAME TO
PLAY, historians and avid baseball fans Duane Smith and Mark Foster
have collected the finest historic baseball photographs of teams,
players, and games from around the state. They are all here, the
town teams, company teams, early professional clubs, and the ethnic
teams that made baseball an integral part of the life and times in
Colorado's mountain towns, prairie hamlets, and bustling frontier
cities. Combined with the wonderful photographs and captions is an
essay that brings baseball's rich heritage in Colorado to life for
the reader.
