Joe Rossi Hall of Fame

1990 Hall of Fame Inductee Irv Moss – Denver Irv Moss, who has a sports writer at the Denver Post for nearly half a century, he won't divulge when he started there, has seen virtually every side of sports from youth baseball to high school to college and the pros. A Denver West graduate, Irv went on to continue his education at Colorado A&M (now Colorado State University in Fort Collins) and the University of Denver. He went on to serve in the United States Army where his writing career actually began at a public information office in Germany. Irv returned to Denver and starting working at night at the Denver Post in the editorial area. That's where he befriended sports editor Chuck Garrity, who offered Moss a position in the sports department. He's been an institution ever since. Irv started covering high school sports and graduated to coverage of the University of Wyoming and the United States Air Force Academy. He was a general assignment reporter for Colorado State University and also dabbled with coverage of the University of Colorado. He's also covered the Nuggets, Broncos and Rockies during his career. He was instrumental in starting up the Denver vs. Suburban all-star baseball game originally held at Bears Stadium. The event was sponsored by the Denver Post. Irv points to Eric Young's leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning in the Colorado Rockies' inaugural home game at Mile High Stadium as "one of the most electrifying sports days I've ever been around." Irv speaks so fondly of players who have crossed his path with special mention of Goose Gossage, Fred Steinmark and Don Sessions!
