Yankees' World Series trophy is coming to Hartford this Friday!

As NYaT's resident Nutmegger, I feel a duty to report to my fellow Hartford-area sports fans that the Yankees' 2009 World Series trophy will be on display this Friday at the State Capitol. Here is Governor Rell's press 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.

And to think, I almost drove all the way to Mohegan Sun to get a peek at the trophy. If anyone else lives around here and wants to join me at lunchtime this Friday, we will have a little NYaT powwow in Hartford!

  1. Not to burst your bubble, but my dad actually went to go see the trophy when it came to the Westchester County Center in White Plains and he said it was a bit disappointing. He said there was just the trophy in a case and the World Series DVD on a screen and you couldn't really get that close to the trophy because it was roped off.

    I think that the only trophy I get excited about seeing is the Stanley Cup because of all the names etched on it and because it truly is a unique trophy because it is continually passed on.
