Major League Baseball announced today that the New York Yankees trip for a set of exhibition games in Panama are now official. The two game exhibition against the Miami Marlins will be the first trip for MLB teams in Panama since 1947. The "Legend Series" will be played on March 15th and 16th at Panama City's Rod Carew Stadium and the great Mariano Rivera, a Panama hometown boy and the MLB's all time saves leader, will be honored before the games.
Magic Dreams Productions, Patricia Lynch, and Rivera will be promoters for the event as the Legend Series will also host charitable events away from the field as well. On March 14th a gala representing both teams will be held to benefit the Mariano Rivera Foundation. Proceeds from the dinner will go to the Children's Hospital of Panama City, the largest children's hospital in the country.
Are they gonna be split squad games? Because the Yankees already have games scheduled on those dates.
