| Niwot Baseball Former Player Thomas Bauer 2005 Graduate |
Thomas Bauer played 3 years of varsity baseball for Niwot. He started
both the 2004 and 2005 State Title games at 1st Base. His teammates will
tell stories of the monstrous home runs to their grandchildren. While
practices on the JV field could be tedious Thomas kept them awake by
launching ball after ball onto the JV field some 400 feet away.
Thomas will always be remembered for the most violent collision at home
plate in Niwot Baseball history. Early in the State Tournament opener vs.
Golden Thomas lined a triple into the right center gap and attempted to
turn it into an inside the park home run. The throw was up the line and
Thomas' football instincts took over. He was ejected, but the tone was set
for the rest of the tourney; The cougars were there to play!
