United by Baseball

Season 12 Episode 3 | 27m 9s | CC

Baseball has long unified Colorado’s communities. Prior to statehood, small towns across the West formed teams. Immigrant groups created leagues, claiming the sport as part of their American identity. In Denver, rising Black talent led to the first integrated game of the 20th century. Today, baseball still builds lasting connections.
