Today from the Coors Field scoreboard:

The Coors Field scoreboard reads as follows: The US Department of Labor (DOL) was established in 1913 by President William Howard Taft in his final hours in office. Key accomplishments include the 40-hour workweek and the Social Security and Unemployment Insurance programs, largely thanks to the DOL’s first Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, the first woman to ever serve in a presidential cabinet.

I've been asking around for any baseball teams that acknowledge Labor Day other than as a generic patriotic event, so thanks for this!

Coors, major supporters of The Heritage Foundation, must have hated that...

And the Giants won the game handily which is, admittedly, of much less significance. But still.., 😝😇🤡

Dick Monfort was clearly too busy answering emails from randos to take a look at the Labor Day copy
