Baseball was very popular among employees of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company and was a way for people of different backgrounds to connect with one another. Many immigrants were employed by CF&I, and baseball was one of the first unifying sports to emerge among workers. The sport was not played only among CF&I Pueblo workers, however. Baseball was popular among mining towns as entertainment as well.

Parks Field was a fairly large field where spectators could come to watch community baseball games. Teams were decided by work departments within CF&I, such as Shops, Wire Mill, and Open Hearth as mentioned in the Industrial Bulletin article above. Pastimes such as sports were big factors in unifying community members, particularly integrating immigrants into the "ideal" American life. Not only was playing baseball entertainment, watching baseball was also entertainment to many spectators.

The sport was popular with many young and old and was considered great entertainment. The second collage was featured in a 1918 Industrial Bulletin. Publicity of league sports such as baseball helped better attitudes towards CF&I after the Ludlow Massacre.
