On Friday, the New York Yankees World Series trophy symbolic of their 27th North American championship, will be displayed at the State Capitol.
“For baseball fans of all stripes, counting down the days to spring training has always helped us get through the long, cold days of winter. Spring training is now right around the corner and having the World Series trophy in Connecticut this week will remind us all of warmer days and months ahead,” said Rell in a statement. “It also will make for a great free family outing for those who have children out on school vacation this week.”
Here’s the rest of her news release:
The trophy will be on display in the State Capitol building from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is invited to take photographs with the trophy and visit with members of the Yankees’ front office. The trophy will arrive at the Governor’s office at 11 a.m. where the Governor will meet briefly with team representatives. The trophy then will be displayed to the public beginning at 11:30 a.m. in State Capitol Rotunda on the first floor of the building. Doors will open at 11 a.m. and lines will begin forming for access to the trophy at 10:15 a.m. The trophy will depart sharply at 2 p.m. and Capitol Police are recommending that all visitors be in line by 1:30 p.m.
