Renaming of Legends Field
On February 7, 2008, Rose joined Phil McNiff from the New York Yankees at Tampa City Council. Rose delivered to Mr. McNiff, the Resolution from the Hillsborough County Commission, stating the Commission voted unanimously to support the renaming of Legends Field to George M. Steinbrenner Field. During that City Council meeting, the City also presented their Resolution of support to Mr. McNiff.
On March 27, 2008, Rose was invited to welcome the crowd at the Yankees-Pirates
game. As part of the special ceremony, the new sign was unveiled and Mr.
Steinbrenner and his family circled the field to adoring fans. It was a very
exciting day for Rose and for all New York Yankee fans.
