MLB Facility Notes: Yankees To Honor Jackie Robinson
 |
Yankees Place Jackie Robinson Memorial
In Yankee Stadium’s Monument Park
|
The Yankees last night dedicated a memorial in Yankee Stadium’s Monument Park
to Jackie Robinson, and the team has donated $1M to the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
Yankees manager Joe Torre, SS Derek Jeter and 2B Robinson Cano, who all wore No.
42 Sunday, participated in dedicating the memorial, which is the “first in Monument
Park to honor a ballplayer who was not a Yankee” (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 4/18).
PARKING PLACE: The Brewers announced plans to place a commemorative plaque
at the landing point of Hank Aaron’s 755th, and final, home run. The ball was
hit at Milwaukee County Stadium and “landed in the grandstand along the left field
foul pole, which today serves as a parking lot at Miller Park” (BIZJOURNALS.com,
4/17).
GATE KEEPER: The Dodgers plan to reopen a fifth parking gate at Dodger
Stadium this weekend in hopes to “alleviate parking lot congestion without alienating
the neighborhood groups that successfully lobbied for that gate to be closed 11
years ago.” The team will use the gate for games with “particularly large crowds,”
and it has “agreed to pay for traffic officers to prevent departing fans from
using side streets on their way to freeways” (L.A. TIMES, 4/18).
