Friends and the family of Ted Uhlaender will gather Wednesday in the Stadium Room at Coors Field to honor the former major-league baseball player, who died Thursday at his ranch near Atwood, Kan.
The memorial and reception is from 1-3 p.m. Entry into Coors Field will be through Gate C.
Uhlaender played in the major leagues for eight years with the Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds. He also played Triple-A baseball for the Denver Bears when they were an affiliate of the Twins.
Uhlaender led the Pacific Coast League in hitting in 1965 with a .340 batting average while with the Bears.
After playing, Uhlaender joined the scouting department of the San Francisco Giants. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma — bone cancer — and was convalescing at his ranch.
