Friends gave us tickets to the Rockies / Red Sox game, so off we went. We shot pool across the street before game time and heard all about the local team’s soon to be Cy Young award winner. Sox fans were out in droves and often needed a stern talking to by older, wiser, and infinitely more local ushers who appeared even smarter after a bottom of the 9th walk off home run for the home team. We followed the excitement into Denver’s mile-high, open air bars into the wee hours.
