Yankees put Steinbrenner statue at spring training complex |
The new statue of George Steinbrenner will be unveiled during a formal ceremony next month. AP TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The New York Yankees have put a statue of former owner George Steinbrenner at the team’s spring training complex. The 600-pound, life-size bronze statue was put on a marble stand Friday at the entrance of the ballpark named for Steinbrenner, who died at 80 in July. The 6-foot statue, on a 3-foot granite pedestal, is identical to one in the lobby of new Yankee Stadium. A formal ceremony is scheduled to take place before the Yankees’ spring training opener against the Phillies on Feb. 26. The statue has Steinbrenner in a suit and wearing the 2009 World Series championship ring, the last of the seven titles won by the Yankees under his ownership. Copyright 2011 Associated Press.
