denver zephyrs

The Denver Zephyrs were a continuation of the old Denver Bears AAA minor league baseball franchise. The played their home games at Mile High Stadium, which, after additions made to accommodate the Denver Broncos football team was the largest venue ever to be the home venue of a minor league team. As a result, they set several minor league attendance records. They played in the former American Association. The team was well-known in part for being the only baseball team with a "Z" on their caps. The team relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana after the 1992 season to make way for the Colorado Rockies, who began play in the National League the following year. Denver's former AAA franchise now competes in the Pacific Coast League as the New Orleans Zephyrs.
