New York Yankees
2008 Spring Training
The 26-time World-Champion New York
Yankees will open their 2008 spring training schedule on Saturday, March
1, at 1:05 p.m. vs. the Philadelphia Phillies at Bright House Networks
Field in Clearwater. In addition to playing 29 spring games against
Major League opposition, the Yankees will play the University of South
Florida on Friday, February 29, at 1:15 p.m. at Legends Field in Tampa
and Virginia Tech on Tuesday, March 18, at 3:00 p.m. in Blacksburg, Va.
"Since the tragedy of last April 16, the Virginia Tech family has shown
great strength and resilience and have committed themselves to the
healing process while looking ahead to their future," said New York
Yankees senior vice president and general manager Brian Cashman. "We
bring the New York Yankees to Blacksburg this spring to celebrate the
start of a new year for the Virginia Tech family and ours."
Following the Yankees' Legends Field opener vs. the University of South
Florida, the Yankees' first home spring training game against Major
League opposition will be on Sunday, March 2, at 1:15 p.m. vs. the
Philadelphia Phillies at Legends Field. There are 15 total home

League clubs (the Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds
and Pittsburgh Pirates) and the University of South Florida.
