In this , Denver Post beat writers Kyle Newman and Patrick Saunders delve into the genesis of their love for baseball.
Newman talks of growing up with the Rockies, backyard whiffle ball and his affinity for a particular baseball video game. Meanwhile, Saunders describes boyhood truck rides listening to the Cardinals on the radio with his dad, going to Denver Bears games, playing in the street with friends in Arvada and more.
Plus, a bonus anecdote from Saunders on how he, like Scotty Smalls from The Sandlot, destroyed a classic piece of his father’s baseball memorabilia.
