Bill and Ed's Holiday Baseball Extravaganza was hatched in the Coors Field press box in September of 2012. Ed Henderson and myself thought a fun thing to do in the offseason would be to put together a baseball themed holiday party. We figured it would be nice to see people we normally wouldn't see for a few more months. The first "Baseball Extravaganza" was held in December 2012 at the Summit Steakhouse in Aurora.
Below is a picture of all those who attended the First Baseball Extravaganza.
