Legends Night originated in the Winter of 2004 as the brainchild of Stafford Little League president Bosco Fowler and board member Larry McCloskey. Both men aspired to create a family-friendly event where parents and children could spend an evening with professional ballplayers who, through their dedication and hard work, attained success in the professional ranks. Bosco and Larry never imagined that Legends Night would quickly attract such household names such as all-time hits leader Pete Rose, Hall of Famer “Goose” Gossage, Luis Tiant and Bill “Spaceman” Lee. Ten years later, and under new leadership, and with the support and assistance of countless volunteers, we’re excited to bring you another fantastic event on Thursday, May 8th at the newly renovated Palace Theater in Stafford Springs, CT. In keeping with tradition, this evening will feature dinner, photos with the stars, autographs, and intimate stories of life in the major leagues. All proceeds benefit the Stafford Little League. Come create another memory. We hope to “catch” you there!
