Rob Carrigan is a third-generation Colorado Native. His grandfather's homestead was near the Hamilton turnoff between Craig and Meeker. He grew up in Dolores. Carrigan can be reached by emailing robcarrigan1@gmail.com.
Growing up in Colorado, and long before Little League baseball, I wanted to be a Yankee.
Little League baseball came to Dolores the first year I was eligible to play — when I was eight-years-old, and about three-feet tall. Orioles, Tigers, Twins and, of course, Yankees.
Some kind of draft, based on age, ability, siblings? … I’m not sure what all … was conducted and the aspiring hall-of-famers donned blue, black, navy or red caps. I ended up a Yankee, which is good, because my Grandma (who spent a lifetime following Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and the like) always wanted me to be a Yankee. Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint.
But just any Yankee, for most, never seems to be enough.
Better to be a Yankee legend. Like, say Babe Ruth, or Goose Gossage, or at least Billy Martin. Colorado had early connections to the Yankees. The 1911 Grizzlies were recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time.The Bears were affiliated with four MLB teams, including the Yankees, from 1932 to 1954 before being replaced in 1955 by an American Association team of the same name that would eventually relocate to New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1993.
"Legendary New York Yankees manager Billy Martin got his first
managing job in Denver – taking over for the Triple A Denver Bears
mid-season in 1968. The Bears had a record of 7 wins, 22 losses when
Martin took the helm, and under Martin’s fiery leadership the team had a
complete turn around, winning 66 games and losing 50 in their remaining
games." writes Tim Larison in his baseball blog April 10, 2010.
"The success with the Bears led to Martin being promoted as manager to
the American League Minnesota Twins the next season. Martin would
never manage in the minors again, serving as manager for the Twins,
Tigers, Rangers, A’s, and of course the Yankees over his career."
"One of the stars of that Bears team, third baseman Graig Nettles,
would later star for Martin’s New York Yankee teams. Art Fowler was
Martin’s pitching coach for the Bears – Fowler also followed Martin to
serve as pitching coach in New York."
But Martin spent additional time in Colorado, before that. Bill Vogrin, a friend of mine, and my boss for awhile at the Courier and Tribune. His
"Baseball's spring training is underway, and that news had fan David
Raith recalling how legendary New York Yankees second baseman Billy
Martin spent his spring 60 years ago: coaching, playing ball and holding
youth training camps with his fellow soldiers at Fort Carson.
"That's
right. Two years after Martin had been MVP of the 1953 World Series,
leading teammates Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and manager Casey Stengel to
the championship, he was just another GI who peeled potatoes on KP
duty, marched with the infantry troops and, by the way, was
player-manager on a baseball team of soldiers," wrote Vogrin.
"He was pretty well-known in Colorado Springs," Raith said as he described Martin's Army stint, to Bill Vogrin, and Martin mostly served at Fort Carson.
For
proof, Raith, executive director of U.S. Figure Skating, offered a
stack of Gazette Telegraph clips that documented the activities of the
colorful Martin, who was credited by Stengel with sparking the Yankees
to seven pennants and six world championships when the fiery infielder
wore pinstripes.
"There were plenty of photos of Martin in Army
uniforms, in baseball uniforms and even civilian clothes as he served
his nearly two-year hitch."Gazette photos showed him ripping a triple in
a game against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox minor league team, washing
pots in the kitchen at Carson and reuniting with Mantle when the slugger
visited the Springs during the offseason."
"It must have been hard
to ignore Martin, who arrived in town driving a baby blue Cadillac
convertible, given to him by friends in his hometown of Oakland, Calif.,
after his '53 World Series heroics," Vogrin notes.
In two autobiographies, Martin wrote about his 22 months of Army service.
While on KP, Martin befriended "a group of Italian cooks who really took care of me."
While attached to a company of mountain climbers, he recalled a particularly difficult two-day training climb.
"We
were supposed to carry extra socks, shorts and winter gear, plus stuff
you need if you're in a battle, in our knapsacks," Martin wrote. "But it
was so hot at the bottom none of us packed that stuff.
"However, when we got to the top, there was three inches of snow on the ground and none of us was dressed for it."
They spent a cold night wrapped in newspapers to keep warm.
The hot-tempered Martin got in fights in the Army and clashed with officers bent on bringing the baseball star down a notch.
Eventually,
he was assigned to run the post gymnasium and manage the baseball team,
foreshadowing his 19-year career as a major league manager that
included winning two American League pennants and the 1978 World Series
with the Yankees.
As a player-manager at Fort Carson in 1954-55, Martin's batting average was over .500 and his teams finished 25-4.
He wrote with pride about his Fort Carson teams, which didn't just beat up on other soldiers.
"We played a number of professional teams and we beat them," Martin said.
He enjoyed the authority that came with managing.
"I
had other guys who could play the infield, so I played where I felt I
would be needed most," including relief pitching, he said.
In
August 1955, with the Yankees struggling in second place, Martin was
granted 30 days leave and he immediately rejoined the team in New York.
Over the next four weeks, he sparked the Yankees to the World Series,
which they lost to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
"Martin returned to Fort
Carson, staying only long enough to complete his discharge paperwork. He
left as a corporal and was awarded an honorable discharge with a good
conduct medal," Vogrin says.
"Now that's one for the books," Martin wrote.
" 'Bad Boy' Billy Martin with a good conduct medal from the U.S. Army.
Who would ever believe that?"
Hall of famer Rick "Goose" Gossage
When I first managed the Ute Pass Courier in Woodland Park, back in the 1990s, Larry Ferguson, the sports editor at the time, told an amazing brush-with-fame story about playing short stop on the same high School team with Colorado State Champion at Wasson High School with Rick "Goose" Gossage. I didn't believe him at first, but looked up old newspaper clips, and it was true.
According to ta post he National Baseball Hall of Fame, Bob Watson, both an opponent and teammate of Rich
“Goose” Gossage, once said of the fireballing pitcher: “He’s all arms
and legs and he’s not looking at you. That doesn’t make you feel good
when he’s throwing 100 miles an hour. I don’t mind a guy throwing 100
miles an hour if he’s looking at you. I’ll tell you it’s a lot better
playing behind him.”
Gossage could be an intimidating presence on the mound, standing
6-foot-3 inches with a penetrating scowl. But of all his attributes, it
was his overpowering fastball, which could reach 100 miles per hour,
which made him one of the top relief pitchers throughout the 1970s and
‘80s.
“My wife wouldn’t know me out there,” Gossage said. “If she ever came
to the mound and talked to me, she’d divorce me. I don’t like anybody
with a bat in his hands because he’s trying to hurt me with that thing.”
A rookie relief pitcher with the White Sox in 1972, Gossage
established himself as a premier closer by the mid-1970s. After spending
1976 as a starting pitcher, he was traded to the Pirates, where he
began a 12-year streak of double-figure save totals.
“I love the feeling of coming to the ballpark every day and knowing
I’ve got a chance to work,” Gossage said. “I’d go crazy as a starter.
Imagine having a bad game and then having to sit around four or five
days before you pitch again. You’d be thinking about it all the time.
That would be terrible.”
Free agency followed his one season in Pittsburgh and Gossage signed a
contract with the Yankees in November 1977. His six years as the New
York closer included four All-Star teams, 150 saves and a 2.10 ERA. He
was also on the mound to finish the 1978 American League East one-game
playoff against the Red Sox.
“We know before the game starts that he’ll be coming in in the eighth
or ninth if the game is close,” said fellow Hall of Famer Carl
Yastrzemski. “There’s nothing you can do.
“Well, there is. You can try to have a big lead.”
Signing a free agent deal with the Padres prior to the 1984 season
provided immediate dividends for Gossage’s new ball club, as his 10 wins
and 25 saves helped San Diego to its first-ever World Series.
When Gossage, a nine-time All-Star, retired after the 1994 season he
had built up quite a resume, finishing a 22-year big league career with
nine different big league clubs. His lifetime statistics included a
124-107 record, 3.01 ERA, 1,002 games, 310 saves, 1,809.1 innings
pitched and 1,502 strikeouts.
“I gave them their money’s worth,” Gossage said.
Gossage was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2008.
Later, Danny Summers, a huge Yankee fan and sports writer, also for the Courier, and later for the Gazette, wrote about his favorite team
"Babe Ruth has been dead for 69 years, yet his legend continues to
live on. Ruth was — and probably always will be — the most popular
athlete in the history of professional sports. One could argue he is
still the most famous sports icon on the face of the earth. He has been
immortalized in movies, books and television shows," says Summers
"On July 4,
1940, several thousand saw Ruth take a few swings right here in Colorado
Springs. And his stay in the area included sightseeing raising the
spirits of dozens of adoring kids."
"The accounts of Ruth’s trip to
Colorado Springs are not well chronicled. I went to many lengths and
looked through many resources to get dig up information on his time
here. A special thanks goes out to the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum,
which allowed me access to old Gazette-Telegraph newspapers in their
original form."
Why did the Babe come to Colorado Springs?
"The
story of Ruth’s trip to Colorado began on July 1, 1940, when his wife,
Claire, and youngest daughter, Dorothy, arrived in Colorado Springs at
8:35 a.m. on the Rock Island Lines passenger train. Jack Riddle, the
Rock Island Lines district passenger agent, announced Claire’s arrival
to a waiting crowd. Claire was shuttled to The Broadmoor, where she
checked in. Interestingly, about a month earlier, the Ruths’ other
daughter, Julia, honeymooned at The Broadmoor," Summers wrote.
The
Gazette-Telegraph covered the Babe’s arrival a few days later with
articles and photographs. Five years removed from his playing days, and
45 years old, the Babe still drew massive crowds. Colorado Springs would
follow suit.
"The Babe got into the city the morning of July 4
with his business manager, Ray Doan. Ruth had given a hitting display in
Iowa days earlier. The afternoon of July 4, he was scheduled to
demonstrate his still prodigious power at Sportsman’s Park, located near
North Nevada Avenue and Fillmore Street. The park has since been razed
and the Elks Lodge is now in the general area.," he said.
"The Babe’s
Sportsman’s Park exhibition was supposed to take place between games of a
doubleheader that featured a team from Pueblo and the Colorado Springs
Orioles, semi-pro teams that played in the State League. Admission to
the games, as well as the exhibition, was 50 cents. That’s right, you
could get a glimpse of the Babe for four bits. Kids under 12 were
admitted for 25 cents."
Summers reported: "The park was jammed with thousands of
spectators. Plans changed when the Babe was introduced to the crowd
about 2 p.m. between the fifth and sixth innings of Game One by Colorado
Springs Mayor George G. Birdsall, who also gave Ruth the keys to the
city and extended a wish that he “make himself at home” while in
Colorado Springs."
Judge Irvin Jones, president of the Colorado
Springs Baseball Association, also welcomed the Babe, as well as David
Strickler, who represented the Myron Stratton Home, a home for orphans
located in the southwest part of town.
"Ruth was given a bouquet of
flowers and had his photograph taken with two children who lived at the
Stratton Home, Robert Morris Armentrout and Nancy Marie Martin. The
Babe promised the children that he would make a visit to the Stratton
Home before he left town. He kept his word," Summers said.
"Ruth performed his
exhibition in front of an overflowing crowd. Fans lined the baselines.
Jimmy Thompson of the Orioles took the mound against the Babe, who
promised the crowd he would “send one over the fence.” Later, Jim
Verrone of the Orioles pitched to Ruth, who still displayed his famous
step-into-it swing."
After he was done, the Babe signed autographs
for adoring fans, everything from new baseballs to gloves and candy
wrappers. He spoke to fans “in a voice made hoarse from a cold he picked
up in Iowa,” reported The Gazette-Telegraph.
"Ruth told the crowd
he was interested in seeing Ford Frick’s home. Frick was a former sports
writer for The Gazette and Ruth’s ghostwriter during his playing days
with the New York Yankees. President of the National League at the time,
Frick kept a home in Colorado Springs until his death in 1978," says Summers.
Before heading to Frick’s home, Ruth headed downtown to sign more autographs at Blick’s Sporting Goods.
What else did The Bambino do while he was in Colorado?
"Ruth
turned the Colorado Springs portion of hitting exhibition into a
vacation that included golfing and sightseeing. On July 5, the Babe,
along with his wife and daughter, toured the area, visiting Garden of
the Gods, Bear Creek Canyon and High Drive, and the Cheyenne Mountain
summit. They were chauffeured by Bill Clements of Colburn Mountain
Tours. That afternoon, Ruth played golf and smoked cigars at The
Broadmoor Golf Club, where he shot an 85. He was joined by Howard Swan,
Lyman Wright and Bibb Lamar. The Babe remarked that the course was “one
of the sportiest he ever played.”
On July 6, the Babe was honored
at a picnic at Seven Falls. During an impromptu hitting display, he
belted a baseball over the uppermost falls. Melvin Weimer, general
manager of the Seven Falls Company, estimated Ruth’s blast at 266 feet
up to the top of the falls. That evening, he and Claire attended a
lavish play called “The Coronado Entrada” at Spencer Penrose Stadium. He
signed autographs for patrons.
The following day, Ruth visited
about 90 orphan children at the Myron Stratton Home and then headed to
Pueblo that afternoon for a hitting exhibition at Runyon Field — named
after the famed sports writer Damon Runyon.The Babe concluded his stay
in the area on July 8 and headed by train to Salt Lake City for an
exhibition on July 9, and another one July 10 in Ogden.
The Pueblo
County Historical Society has spotty records from the Babe’s brief
visit there. The society states that Ruth was in Pueblo for an
“exhibition game in 1938.” Records show that the Babe also played a game
in Pueblo in 1922 as part of a barnstorming tour — popular in those
days — along with former Yankees teammate Bob Meusel.
There is no
record Ruth making Denver part of his hitting exhibition tour in July of
1940. The only record of the Babe ever playing baseball in Denver comes
from Mark Foster in his book “The Denver Bears: From Sandlots to
Sellouts.” Foster wrote that Ruth and Meusel stopped in Denver in 1922
as part of a barnstorming tour. Ruth went 5-for-5 in the game, “ ...
including two long home runs over Merchants Park’s short right field
fence.”
In 1927, Ruth and former Yankees teammate Lou Gehrig made another stop in Denver as part of their barnstorming tour.
"Ruth
is arguably the only athlete in history who can be described as
mythical. He was more than the ultimate sports celebrity. He was the
ultimate celebrity. During the 1920s, the Golden Age of Sports, Ruth
transcended sports onto the front pages of newspapers. Babe Ruth
single-handedly made baseball the national pastime."
"His
accomplishments can only be described as “Ruthian.” He single-handedly
changed the game of baseball from a pitcher’s game into a hitter’s game.
He introduced the world to the home run, now one of the most exciting
plays in sports. He promised home runs to sick kids in the hospital. He
pointed over the outfield fence in the World Series to announce where he
was going to hit the next pitch. And then he did."
He was the best
player on the best team in history. Babe Ruth and the Yankees are
synonymous, and Yankee Stadium will always be remembered as the “House
That Ruth Built.”
"And for a short time in the summer of 1940, the Babe walked among us in Colorado Springs," says Summers.

Ford's decision to pardon Nixon was very controversial
By Rob Carrigan, robcarrigan1@gmail.com
A number of things make Gerald Ford an interesting president of the United States to me. Most prominently is how much time he spent in Colorado. And though he was a member of the House of Representatives for 25 years, holding Michigan's 5th congressional district seat from 1949 to 1973, and important party positions, Ford is the only person to serve as president without winning an election for president or vice president.
He previously served as the leader of the Republican Party in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1965 to 1973, and as the 40th vice president under President Richard Nixon
from 1973 to 1974. Ford succeeded to the presidency when Nixon resigned
in 1974, but was defeated for election to a full term in 1976.
Ford had a sort of lifetime role as an "odd man out."
Ford was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. on July 14, 1913, at 3202 Woolworth Avenue in Omaha, Nebraska, where his parents lived with his paternal grandparents. He was the only child of Dorothy Ayer Gardner and Leslie Lynch King Sr., a wool trader. His paternal grandfather was banker and businessman Charles Henry King, and his maternal grandfather was Illinois politician and businessman Levi Addison Gardner. Ford's parents separated just sixteen days after his birth and his mother took the infant Ford with her to Oak Park, Illinois,
where her sister Tannisse and brother-in-law, Clarence Haskins James
lived. From there, she moved to the home of her parents in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Gardner and King divorced in December 1913, and she gained full custody
of her son. Ford's paternal grandfather paid child support until
shortly before his death in 1930.
Ford was the target of two assassination attempts during his presidency. In Sacramento, California, on September 5, 1975, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, pointed a Colt .45-caliber handgun at Ford and pulled the trigger at point-blank range. As she did, Larry Buendorf, a Secret Service agent, grabbed the gun, and Fromme was taken into
custody. She was later convicted of attempted assassination of the
President and was sentenced to life in prison; she was paroled on August
14, 2009, after serving 34 years .
In reaction to this attempt, the Secret Service began keeping Ford at a
more secure distance from anonymous crowds, a strategy that may have
saved his life seventeen days later. As he left the St. Francis Hotel in downtown San Francisco, Sara Jane Moore, standing in a crowd of onlookers across the street, fired a .38-caliber revolver at him. The shot missed Ford by a few feet.Before she fired a second round, retired Marine Oliver Sipple
grabbed at the gun and deflected her shot; the bullet struck a wall
about six inches above and to the right of Ford's head, then ricocheted
and hit a taxi driver, who was slightly wounded. Moore was later
sentenced to life in prison. She was paroled on December 31, 2007, after
serving 32 years.
According to the National Archives, "In 1967, the Ford Family started going annually to the newly
incorporated town of Vail, Colorado, for ski trips. By 1970, the family
had purchased a condominium, making them part-time residents of the
municipality – a status they held until President and Mrs. Ford’s deaths
in 2006 and 2011."
In “An Ordinary Man,” Richard Norton Smith wrote:
Wooden sidewalks hedged unpaved streets when, late in 1967,
Gerald Ford paid his first visit to the faux-Bavarian village, with its
half-timbered houses and white plaster clock tower; where snow bunnies
and downhill racers routinely crossed paths with part-time residents
Henry Fonda, Lowell Thomas and Leonard Bernstein. …[Upon becoming
President in 1974] Ford’s presence raised Vail’s profile as a year-round
destination and future home of the Jerry Ford Invitational Golf
Tournament, the Ford Cup skiing competition, and the Ford-hosted World
Forum of global leaders sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute.
In 1988, the Vail Alpine Gardens were renamed in honor of Betty Ford,
and in 1989, Vail opened the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, with Willie
Nelson as its first major performer! We think it’s safe to say that the
Fords and the Vail community had a mutual love and respect for each
other. Here are some fun photos of the Fords enjoying their time in
Vail with outdoor activities and friends.
"Midwesterners Gerald and Betty Ford spent most of their time in
Washington DC after Gerald became a Michigan congressman, later Vice
President, then President. But they were drawn to Colorado’s blue skies,
golf in the summers, fresh powder in winter, with secret service agents
in tow," says Colorado Public Radio Staff.
"But the Fords’ interest in Vail extended beyond the
slopes. They took an active interest in the community. President Ford
was a founding member of the Vail Valley Foundation, and in the 80s,
personally called friends to raise money for a new entertainment venue.
The Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater was christened with a Willie Nelson
concert in 1987. The following year saw the inaugural season of the
Bravo! Vail Music Festival, which made the valley a favorite destination
for top musicians. Gerald Ford – America’s only unelected president –
and the only one to bring the New York Philharmonic to Colorado in the
summer."
In June of 2022, Fords house in Vail was on the market.
"While he was President, Gerald Ford was often mocked for alleged
physical ineptitude," Forbes Contributoer Regina Cole, at the time. "He acquired a reputation as a clumsy, likable and
simple-minded everyman; an incident in 1975, when he tripped while
exiting Air Force One in Austria, was famously and repeatedly parodied
by Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live, cementing Ford's image as a klutz."
"In fact, he was a lifelong athlete, a skilled football player who won
two national championships while at the University of Michigan.
Following his senior year, he turned down offers from the Detroit Lions
and the Green Bay Packers, instead taking a position as the boxing coach
and assistant varsity football coach at Yale, while applying to Yale
Law School," says Cole.
"He loved to ski, so a vacation home in Vail, Colorado made sense.
Built in 1967, this mountain chateau served as a favorite holiday
retreat for President Gerald and First Lady Betty Ford. Now their winter holiday ski house has come onto the market, offered for $13 million."
Perhaps in another instance of serving as the odd man out, On September 8, 1974, Ford issued Proclamation 4311, which gave Nixon a full and unconditional pardon for any crimes he might have committed against the United States while president.
In a televised broadcast to the nation, Ford explained that he felt the
pardon was in the best interests of the country, and that the Nixon
family's situation "is a tragedy in which we all have played a part. It
could go on and on and on, or someone must write the end to it. I have
concluded that only I can do that, and if I can, I must."
"Winter sports fanatics have been drawn to the mountains of Vail
Valley since the resort opened in 1962. One of these eager visitors
included the 38th President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford. The
circa-1967 home that he and former First Lady, Betty Ford, owned in the
late 70s/early 80s just listed for $13 million. Nicknamed the “Winter
White House,” this was a favorite holiday retreat of theirs before
building a home nearby in Beaver Creek," writes Cottage and Gardens' Annika Holmberg

strong support of and contributions to the Vail Valley community in
August 1989. Courtesy Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
"Ford and his wife were
active members in the community, attending HOA meetings, dining at
restaurants, and even switching on the lights for the Vail Christmas
tree. “I don’t know where we’d be without them,” said the President of
the Vail Valley Association in a 2006 article by The Denver Post, “The Vail Valley is unbelievably lucky to have someone of his stature who is so committed to the community.”
"Nestled
on about half an acre, the property supplies beautiful vistas of the
valley and is just minutes from Vail Mountain’s Golden Peak Village,
Vail Golf Course, and the appropriately named Ford Amphitheater and
Betty Ford Gardens. The two-level home is a quintessential display of
midcentury Colorado architecture, featuring vaulted ceilings, wood
beams, a wraparound porch, and deep-toned wood accents throughout," notes Holmberg in 2022.
"Spanning
5,860 square feet and offering seven bedrooms, it could easily
accommodate the Fords’ four kids and more. The main floor held Ford’s
presidential primary suite and is also the spot for entertaining with an
updated kitchen and dining room, as well as access to outdoor spaces."
"While
President Ford was a public figure of high interest worldwide, Vail was
a place where locals just saw him as a neighbor and friend. Except when
Secret Service came down the slopes behind him, which was quite a
sight." Holmberg wrote in 2022.
