After the Colorado Rockies’ Larry Walker made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame this week, some in the Rocky Mountain region are arguing the national conversation is skewed, with much of the attention focused on fellow-nominee Derek Jeter. CU Boulder sports historian Tom Zeiler is available for media interviews on the topic.

Zeiler, an author and professor of diplomatic history, teaches a course on baseball history at CU Boulder. He can talk about the reasons popular media largely skips over Colorado sports, even in championship years, as well as the bias against Coors Field.
