"This endeavor allows Radiology Associates Imaging to formally connect our name to a culturally historic stadium and continue to support the preservation of a family-friendly venue."
Daytona Cubs General Manager Josh Lawther has overseen the entire offseason renovation process at Jackie Robinson Ballpark and is extremely excited for the Cubs' enhanced partnership with Radiology Associates Imaging.
"Radiology Associates has been a loyal and dedicated partner over the years, and not only with the Cubs, but also as a member of our community," Lawther said.
