("BASEBALL: NOTEBOOK; Labor Board's Batting Average Could Favor the Players" ), ''The New York Times'', March 12, 1995. Accessed December 23, 2007〕 ==Biography== Naimoli's father was an Italian immigrant who worked for the New York City Subway system and became a self-taught stationary engineer. Naimoli attended the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1959 and earning a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology in 1962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2009 Commencement Honoree: Vincent J. Naimoli )〕 Naimoli received his Masters of Business Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1964, and completed Harvard University Business School’s advanced management program in 1974. Naimoli still attends Irish athletic events regularly. Naimoli has three daughters from his first marriage and one daughter from his second marriage. Naimoli is currently a member of the Fairleigh Dickinson University Board of Trustees. On Wednesday, October 5, 2011 the Naimoli Family Baseball Complex on the Metropolitan Campus of Fairliegh Dickson University was dedicated. This “Field of Dreams” became a reality thanks to the generosity of Mr. Naimoli. Naimoli negotiated a naming-rights deal with Tropicana Products for Tropicana Field, with the team paying for improvements to the stadium and other auxiliary facilities. Naimoli oversaw a design for the stadium with asymmetrical outfield dimensions and dirt base paths, and seats located close to the field of play. FieldTurf was added before the start of the 2000 season.〔(Vincent J. Naimoli, Managing General Partner and Chief Executive Officer ), Tampa Bay Rays.
