| Johnny Rosenblatt |
Johnny Rosenblatt, whose name graces this ballpark, played amateur, semipro and professional baseball before entering a life of public service.He located this hilltop site and pushed for the construction of a stadium. It opened in 1948, and two years later attracted the NCAA College World Series. Johnny, ebullient and upbeat, served as mayor of Omaha from 1954 to 1961, but was stricken with Parkinson’s Disease in the prime of his life. Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium, also home to the Omaha Royals, has carried his name since 1964. Johnny Rosenblatt, 1907-1979. |
