Broadway Park, Denver

While I'm working on the Sacramento Ballpark Triptych, I have a few more things to post. Here's Broadway Park in Denver, which was used for the first quarter-century or so of the 20th century:

A few web pages about the park have some background and pictures in addition to the ones I post below: Article about the local area baseball history, Article on a Rockies fan blog, Pictures from the Denver Public Library

This was a tougher one than it perhaps should have been--the first maps I looked at had the catcher facing NW but when matching aerial photos to the grid it's clear the catcher faces NE, at least in the time period I cared about. I tried not to start completely from scratch, but effectively did that anyhow. I also wasn't sure how best to interpret what looked like a double wall in left field. As usual, I kind of shot for an average appearance and probably didn't get what it actually looked like at any particular time in history. In any case, it should work fine--let me know if it doesn't!
