I’ve seen this sculpture since I was a kid and have loved it.

The “Evolution of the Ball,” designed by Colorado artist Lonnie Hanzon, stood outside the left field gate at Coors Field for years, welcoming fans as they approached a pedestrian bridge over 20th Street on their way into the ballpark. It was the gateway to Coors Field for people like myself, the routine ballpark travelers on RTD light rails walking in from nearby Union Station, or the ballpark connoisseurs that soaked in the magic of Coors Field from the outside in.
