1984

I watched George Bush Senior play a little baseball with the Denver Bears at Mile High before one of his events at McNichols. I have a picture of him rocking back on his heels at the plate because the pitcher threw one inside.

I will post the picture as soon as I get to the pile of photo albums. This one is from the internet. It was front page Rocky Mountain News. (when we were dumb enough to like the bushs)

Alright baseball fans, we are going back into the archives to talk about the Denver Bears and a special player they had back in 1984: George H.W. Bush.
Yes, former President George H.W. Bush played for the Denver Bears in 1984. Bush was the sitting vice president at the time and took part in an old-timers game on July 12 at Mile High Stadium with the Denver Bears.
Though he didn’t start the game, Bush came in the fourth inning, played first base and got an at-bat. This at-bat was one for the books as Bush hit a line drive single off Hall of Famer Warren Spahn.
Spahn is well known in the baseball world, and being an old-timers game there were sure to be some other big names around the field, so we might as well list a few others who played: Ernie Banks, Brooks Robinson, Billy Martin, Bob Feller and Joe DiMaggio are a few names that may ring a bell.
Bush was no stranger to the diamond playing at Yale, where he appeared in back-to-back College World Series for the Bulldogs in 1947-48.

I found a Denver map, in the Jeep, that had a RR yard where Coors Field is now.

Marching back to the barracks in the winter of 76-77 at Lowry AFB. I was 17 and Rock n' Roll was at its zenith.

I remember most all of the above.

I rode my bicycle over the dirt mounds before they built the Villa Italia. Grew up in Jefferson county before there was a city of Lakewood.

They were still building I-70. It was completed only a few miles west of town.

Gart Brothers Sports Castle. Bought my first hunting rifle there. Killed my first deer with it.
They had 55 gallon barrels with mil-surp rifles in them. One barrel had $9.99 rifles, the next had $19.99 rifles, the last one had $29.99 ones. Money was hard to come by, so I had to get one of the $9.99 ones. Wasn't old enough to have a drivers license yet (young teenager) but I could pick out a rifle plunk it down on the counter, and buy a box of ammo for it. No ID or age check. Then walk out the door, rifle in one hand, ammo in the other. That was obviously before the bullshit gun law of 1968.

I haven?t been here all that long but I do remember when I could get from Thornton to Centennial straight down I-25 in about 25 minutes.

Also remember when you could use your CCW permit to buy a gun, with no BGC.

Mostly i remember CO as i saw it in the late 70's saying screw NY we're moving here.


There's one more thing i remember. But i'll wait till i can find the picture to post that one.
