Last month, Ron Rocha, a volunteer baseball coach for Regis University, was on the losing end of an intra-squad matchup dubbed the Fall World Series. But he suffered an even greater defeat yesterday, when he was among 35 people named by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the bust of a massive cocaine ring that allegedly shipped twenty kilos of coke to Denver metro each week.

Of the 35 arrestees, 23 were taken into custody locally, including David Cordova, a retired Denver firefighter. Also grabbed: 53 kilos of cocaine, 35 pounds of marijuana and more than $650,000 in cash.

Page down to see photos of seized drugs, cash and more, plus mug shots of assorted suspects still at large and a U.S. Attorney's Office release detailing the enormous operation:
