The Bobby Mattick Training Center at Englebert Complex, is a sports facility owned by the City of Dunedin, Florida. It is used primarily by the Toronto Blue Jays as a practice facility, and is home to their Rookie league affiliate, the Gulf Coast League Blue Jays. The facility opened in 1978 and named after City Commissioner and one time mayor Cecil P. Englebert, who lured the Toronto Blue Jays to the area. The facility was renovated in 2002 for $14 million, expanding it from 17 to 23 acres. The Blue Jays renamed the training facility the Bobby Mattick Training Center at Englebert Complex in 2003 after Bobby Mattick, who managed the Blue Jays from 1980 to 1981, and was employed by the team from 1976 until his death in 2004. The City of Dunedin objected to the new name, arguing that Mattick had no ties to the City. The site features: * training facilities * team offices * hitting cages * five full fields * one small field Three other baseball diamonds on the north side belong to Louis A. Vanech Recreation Complex, another city owned facility at 3051 Garrison Road, provides public parking and access to the Englebert Complex. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Englebert Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
