What happened: When construction crews broke ground on Coors Field in 1992, workers uncovered a vertebra, several skull fragments and a rib bone. Paleontologists later confirmed the remains belonged to dinosaurs. The bones are now held for display rather than buried under the Colorado Rockies' home ballpark.

Why it matters: The find predates the franchise itself and underpins the origin of Dinger, the Rockies' Triceratops mascot introduced when Coors Field opened. It remains one of the more unusual footnotes in MLB ballpark construction history, tying the Rockies' identity to the ground the stadium sits on.

What to watch: The Rockies host the San Francisco Giants Friday with their series tied 2-2. San Francisco is listed as a favorite with the total set at 8.0.
