    City of Bristol NEWS RELEASE CONTACT Office of the Mayor Ken Cockayne, Mayor 111 North Main Street Phone: 860-584-6250 [email protected] Brian Wilson, Director Bristol Parks and Recreation Phone: 860-584-6160 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bristol Blues Make Muzzy Field Its Home for Five More Years (BRISTOL, CT – August 28, 2017) After a successful initial three-year stint in Bristol, the Bristol Blues management team has inked a new agreement to make legendary Muzzy Field the Blues home until 2022. The new five-year agreement was unanimously approved earlier this month by the Board of Park Commissioners. “We are so happy that the Bristol Blues were so successful and happy they decided to keep Muzzy Field as their home field advantage for the near future,” said Bristol Mayor Ken Cockayne. “The Blues are now continuing the amazing history of Muzzy Field and who knows, our citizens have the opportunity to see players today who may make the major leagues just like some of the other legends of our national pastime.” The Blues are in the Futures League and signed a three-year lease to play in the main attraction of Rockwell Park back in 2014. Muzzy Field, in its 102nd season, was the center of sports in Bristol for the majority of those hundred years. The stadium’s history is colorful hosting the Bristol Owls (Class B; Colonial League) in 1949-50 and the Bristol Red Sox (Class AA; Eastern League) from 1973-82. Muzzy Field was also the site of many baseball and football games, including MLB teams: Babe Ruth, as did notables like Jimmie Foxx, Minnie Minoso, Jackie Mitchell, Warren Spahn, Lefty Gomez, Casey Stengel, Bill McKechnie, Max Carey, Paul Waner, Kiki Cuyler and Pie Traynor who played for the Boston Red Sox (1919 and 1922), Pittsburgh Pirates (1926), Boston Braves (1943 and 1944), Philadelphia Phillies (1943 and 1944) and New York Yankees (1945).
