The Great Scoreboard Mystery of Mile High Stadium - Bob Burris Ultimate Backstage Pass To Sports

The Day a U.S Vice President Stole the Show in a Baseball Game...

A Vice President in uniform. Secret Service in the clubhouse. And 60,000 fans who had no idea what was about to happen. George H. W. Bush wasn’t on the roster, but that didn’t stop him from taking the field in Denver — and stealing the show. Nearly 20 years later, I got another phone call that brought me face-to-face with him again, this time on the golf course. In this episode of The Ultimate Backstage Pass to Sports, I share the untold story of how a sitting Vice President ended up playing first base, and why history has a funny way of repeating itself.
