Crist Brings Back 'Governor's Baseball Dinner'

'Florida Governor Charlie Crist will host the Governor's Baseball Dinner, a prelude to the 2008 Florida spring training and Major League Baseball season, on Feb. 26 at Tropicana Field.

'The governor, a former professional baseball executive, is reviving the annual dinner held for many years prior to the beginning of the Florida spring training season. The event will honor the Tampa Bay Rays, Florida Marlins, the 16 other teams that call Florida home during the month of March and minor-league baseball.

'Guest speakers will include Gov. Crist, Commissioner Bud Selig and members of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Also on display will be memorabilia charting more than 100 years that Florida has served as a spring training host.' (OrlandoSentinel)
