In Denver, No Business Like Snow Business
DENVER — The day here, at least by baseball standards, began with a fairly extraordinary sight.
Early Tuesday morning, hours before the start of the scheduled doubleheader between the Mets and the Colorado Rockies, several dozen Coors Field employees undertook the massive task of removing the thick layer of snow that blanketed every surface at the ballpark.
Everything — the grass, the seats and aisles, the trees behind the center-field wall — was painted thickly white by the previous night’s storm.
Rows of people pushed shoulder to shoulder and lifted the wet accumulation onto carts that circled the field and shuttled in and out of the building. Gigantic mounds were formed in foul territory, before those, too, were broken down and whisked away.
