The Top 22 All-Time Denver Browns list launched today Tuesday 2/22/22 will take us up to Opening Day in an effort to raise awareness around our GoFundMe SAVE OPENING DAY campaign. The players are unveiled in no particular order, the list is not in order of better or worse with exception of player #1, Player #1 was the greatest to ever play for the Denver Nine.

22. #22 Shortstop Jordan Bruns #22

Leading off the list of Denver Browns greats begins w/a player who has been on the team every single season (all 15) since 2007 and apropos wears #22 and typically leads off batting well over .400 for 15 years now 7-time City Champ and Regis U and Heritage HS Legend Denver Browns Hall of Fame’r who rhymes with runs... Jordan Bruns!

21. #22 LHP Jeremiah Batla #22

Another Denver Brown Great wore #22... for two seasons Jeremiah Batla flirted with perfection… 21-1 in 2010-2011 throwing the Browns 2nd No Hitter & striking fear in all who faced him.

This Black History Month we honor former Denver Ballplayer from the 1880’s and recent National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Bud Fowler. Long time Denver barnstormer Buck O’Neil. As well as our LF/SS/RP extraordinaire ILario Vital… also photographed is Denver NABA Umpire Stephan Brown. #blackhistorymonth #denverbrowns #supportlocalbaseball #budfowler #buckoneil #halloffame #IlarioVital #baseballcards4kids

The most lovable guy in the league, our skip Mike Onisko got the call last week from the NABAs Shane Fujita and Joe Collins to let him know that he (Mike Onisko) is the most recent inductee and that he will receive the NABA's highest honor by being enshrined to their prestigious National Adult Baseball Association's National Hall of Fame for his meritorious contributions to the local and national levels for close to 30 years. His impeccable character and ability to continuously compete on the national level for over 20 years were behind their reasoning.

During the offseason of 2013 The Denver Browns signed the best manager in team history when Mike agreed to terms for the 2014 season. Since then The Denver Browns have been nothing short of dominant. Winning 5 City Championships in the past 7 seasons while playing in 6 of the past 7 Championship games. Mike has established himself as the best manager in the league and one of the best in the country. We couldn't be more proud for this recognition to our great Skip and simply can't thank him enough for being our leader on the field the past 8 years. Thank you and congratulations Mike!

Onisko Playing and Managing Record

In a tribute to Denver Browns only non-player ever inducted into the Denver Browns Hall of Fame, John Elliott. The Denver Browns were able to pay their respects in their own fitting way to what John meant to The Denver Browns Baseball Club as well as the City of Denver by putting up a max effort vs a solid Dirtbag team with a 13-0 victory on Opening Day. Denver Browns Opening Day ace starter Houston Hibbered struck out a Denver Browns 7 inning record 17 strikeouts and was in line to break the Browns all time record of 20K's in a game (Sean Chase 2014) had the game not ended early due to the 10 run mercy rule.

Denver Browns Captain Trent Kutler was 2/5 w/5RBI's one upped by Browns veteran 3rd baseman Matthew Jerebker who went 3/5 w/ 5RBIs and a HomeRun

John truly was a force for the good of mankind here in Denver. Always outspoken in regards to his beliefs in healthcare system and the intricacies of local and state government, John never shied away from speaking his truth and standing up for the disadvantaged.

Mary Therese Anstey (John Elliot's significant other) threw out the first pitch for the many spectators there to remember and NEVER FORGET John Elliott. As fate would have it, she fired a strike to Denver Browns vet Matt Barker who happened to be wearing number ( you guessed it) #13... For sure a good omen as The Denver Browns go on to win in convincing fashion 13-0.

This March we at the Denver Browns celebrate Women's History Month... First, by featuring our own Kristen Genter of the South Park Whooping Cranes, the first ever female manager in the history of baseball.

And on the last day of Women's History Month we bring you the story of Denver Browns new sponsor Christie Lysaught of Kentwood Real Estate Cherry Creek.

Christie Lysaught (Nee Allen) first got her start in professional sports long before she became a successful real estate agent here in the beautiful City of Denver. A journey that took her from the humble beginnings working here locally for John Elway in the world of football and took her all the way to the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium.

What started as a love for baseball turned into a role in being of service as the public address announcer for her High School alma matter; Heritage High School located near historic downtown Littleton Colorado. Just so happened, and maybe no coincidence that that particular team went on to be one of the greatest High School baseball teams in the state's history breaking nearly every offensive record ever established while being ranked in the top 20 nationally by Baseball America for 2 straight years. A team featuring Denver Browns Hall of Famer Jordan Bruns, former big leaguer Luke French, and other pros such as Jake Opitz and Austin Krum. Christie has been around excellence on the baseball field ever since the beginning, a theme that has been consistent in her career in the sports world and beyond in Real Estate.

The Denver Browns Baseball Club will be doing their best in 2021 to maintain their mission statement - To continuously break the mold of amateur and semi pro baseball in Denver by always striving to be the best in everything we do, from the field to the community. With that being said, we most definitely will be doing that in the upcoming year by bringing you live music to most of our games in 2021. Look for Musical Life Denver - School of Music to be providing music for the majority of Denver Browns games this upcoming season.

Today we catch up with the head of Musical Life Denver, the owner Robby Schechter.

Robby tell us about Musical Life Denver, it's mission and how it came to be?

RS: Musical Life Denver is a 100% locally owned and operated business with a focus on community, leadership, and most importantly, having fun with music! We offer private music lessons, band classes, and more in the Denver area. We are conveniently located on South Broadway in Englewood, CO.

Browns Beat: What was your inspiration and how long has Musical Life Denver been in existence?

RS: Well I began playing piano at the age of 4 and guitar at the age of 6 and I've always had a passion for sharing music with others. I was performing at talent shows at school and summer camps by the time I was 8 and began playing in bands shortly after that. My first ever performance with a band was when I was 13, at the historic Blueberry Hill in St. Louis, Mo.

We are pleased to ad Chip Simmons to the Denver Browns Baseball Organization in 2021 as the ball clubs first ever Team Chaplin. We are fortunate to add someone with such credentials, as Chip has been the Team Chaplin for the Super Bowl in addition to working with the local Denver Broncos and Colorado University Football Program he has served for teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia 76'ers. Chip Simmons heads up After The Game Ministries http://afterthegameministries.org and has been a friend of the Browns GM since their days working together for John Elway within the Colorado Crush Organization. Being Chip has most always worked in professional football, you wouldn't know his favorite sport since childhood has always been baseball growing up a die hard Phillies fan. His favorite player? That would be none other than Lonnie Smith, who famously played in 5 different World Series (winning 3 of them with PHL, StL & KC). Prior to his work sharing the Gospel, Chip served as manager to one of the greatest Jazz musicians to ever strum a stand up bass guitar, his first cousin Christian McBride. Look for Chip as well as live music at many of our games this upcoming season! Thank you Chip and thank you Denver Browns Fans as we look to another exciting championship baseball season in 2021. Exciting News! Opening Day is April 11th at 9am - Place TBD but look for East HS or North HS to return as a Denver Browns venue in 2021!

Did You Know??? Colorado Rockies GM Jeff Bridich played one season with Denver Browns Hall of Fame Manager Mike Onisko? The 2004 Colorado Reds also featuring Denver Browns Hall of Fame 3rd Baseman Matthew Jerebker had one recent former Harvard catcher named Jeff Bridich. Interesting tidbit Jeff wasn’t the starting catcher as he joined a team that featured another former Harvard catcher that beat him out in college and then again in the semi pro NABA... a huge coincidence unfolded when Jeff looked down the bench and once again saw his old teammate Scott Hopps putting on the gear, true story.

A little FYI on how our affiliate the Mile High Green Elephant's name was derived; named after The Denver White Elephants who were a barnstorming baseball team comprised of African Americans. One might call them the “Jackie Robinson” of sports teams. A semi-pro squad nicknamed “The Baseball Wizards of the West”, they started playing five years before the formation of the Negro National League.
