Overview
Runyon Field is named after Damon Runyon, a sportswriter who grew up in Pueblo. Runyon is best known for his work in New York as a sports journalist, but he started writing for the Pueblo Chieftain in 1910. He later moved to New York and became famous for both his journalism and for authoring several short stories. One story, titled “Guys and Dolls”, became a major Broadway musical.
In 1995, Pueblo County renovated and expanded main field at the Runyon Complex, and named the field after Runyon's former colleague at the Pueblo Chieftain, Oneal Hobbs. Hobbs was known as a tireless supporter of baseball in Pueblo.
Currently, the Runyon sports complex consists of six fields. There are two high school/college fields, one 14 and under field, one 12 and under field, one 10 and under field and one eight and under field at the complex. The complex also utilizes and maintains another 10/ 12 and under field as well as a full-sized softball field in collaboration with the city, county and School District #70 of Pueblo.The Runyon Field Sports Complex continues to serve as the regional baseball and softball facility for high school and youth baseball and softball programs. The facility is also used in the fall for high school and middle school softball as well. The facility serves as a training facility in the fall for high school and youth baseball.
The Runyon complex is also well-known for hosting the annual Father's Day "Nuch" (pronounced 'nooch') tournament. The tournament (and one of the complex fields) is named after well-known local baseball advocate, Anthony Andenucio, who passed away in 1977. This tournament brings very talented teams from around the country to Pueblo every year.
