Minor League Baseball - Winter Meetings

Minor League Baseball Unveils Baseball Winter Meetings Logo

Winter Meetings Logo Hints of Business and Pleasure

ST. PETERSBURG, FL--Minor League Baseball has unveiled a new logo for the Baseball Winter Meetings that emphasizes the pleasures awaiting executives from all levels of professional baseball when they gather in New Orleans Dec. 12-15.

The rich gold, purple and green colors and the baseball player with his saxophone highlight the theme of Baseball, Jazz and Nightlife that will describe New Orleans for several days.

While the business side of the game will consume many hours of every day, there will be ample time to experience the social side that has made New Orleans a favorite stop for conventions, business meetings and tourists in general.

Headquarters for the baseball action will be the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, just a short walk from the wonders of Bourbon Street and some of the best restaurants in the country.

The Baseball Winter Meetings official social functions will sample some of those delights, including the Gala at world-famous Pat O Brien's, overlooking the Mississippi River. Entertainment at the Annual Banquet, which tops off the gathering, will be an old-time New Orleans Cabaret Show. The spouse tour includes a stop at the New Orleans School of Cooking.

The Hilton New Orleans Riverside is also just a short walk from the Morial Convention Center, site of the Baseball Trade Show, a giant gathering of more than 250 exhibitors, that is an annual feature of the meetings.

Information concerning registration for the Baseball Winter Meetings, which are open only to members of Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball and affiliated parties, may be obtained from Jeannette Machicote at (727) 822-6937 (Ext. 1701).
