The National Western Stock Show and baseball just don’t mix. We’ve always thought that. And now we have proof. Or, should we say, Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs (Senor Spielbergo?) has the proof. From the Denver Post, via Lion in Oil:

As organizers prepared for the National Western Stock Show parade through downtown Denver, the Coors Field parking lot served as a staging area for livestock. A few steers didn’t, um, steer sharply enough and one broke the taillight on Spilborghs’ vehicle.

“My spot was taken, so I parked in space 19, for my number. When I came out, the light was broken,” Spilborghs said. “I checked for a note, but those longhorns left something else behind.”

Spilborghs called clubhouse manager Keith Schulz to ask if an accident had been reported. Schulz told him he had “heard rumors of a steer getting loose.” Soon after, Spilborghs was watching the 24-hour security surveillance tape with the bovine fender bender in full view.

It’s really just nature’s way of evening things out.
