Chevrolet Hit a Home Run with MLB Sponsorship

BAY CITY, Mich. – Swing batter batter, swing! Chevrolet just hit a home run with an MLB (Major League Baseball) sponsorship renewal. Since 2005 Chevy has partnered with the MLB and the Detroit Tigers for programs and showcasing their best-selling cars above Comerica Park. This year, Chevrolet renewed another sponsorship with the MLB and USA Baseball.

The three companies, Chevy, MLB, and USA Baseball, have come together for a second season to get kids of all age groups involved in baseball and softball within their community. Kids that participate can be a part of year-round local events, an inaugural Play Ball Weekend, and get unique experiences with Major and Minor League Baseball teams.

Paul Edwards, the US VP of Chevrolet Marketing, is thrilled about this partnership and was quoted by saying, “Chevrolet’s partnership with Major League Baseball is a natural fit and allows the brand and our dealers to connect with generations of Americans on a personal level through the support of hometown teams at both the professional and youth levels. At Chevrolet, we appreciate the power of play and the profoundly positive effect it has on kids.  Baseball helps kids develop, connect with each other, and learn sportsmanship; and it ultimately brings families and communities together.”

 

Through this partnership, Chevrolet created the Chevy Youth Baseball Program. Over the year the Chevy Youth Baseball Program has donated over 90,000 equipment packs, renovated 9,400 local parks, and has made a difference in over 5.2 million kid's lives across the nation. The program is dedicated to bringing families and community together, as well as getting active and playing America’s favorite pastime.

Chevy Gets Ready For Baseball Season

BAY CITY, Mich. – Unless you live under a rock, you may have noticed that Major League Baseball opened up its 2015 season this past Monday. Opening Day is a major holiday here in Michigan, with thousands of people heading to downtown Detroit to watch the Tigers open up, what most hope to be, a successful season with a run at the World Series Championship. Chevy gets ready for baseball season and if you have ever been to Comerica Park or have watched the games on TV, you might have noticed the two Chevy vehicles perched atop the Chevy Fountain in centerfield. Every year, Chevy chooses select vehicles from its new lineup to display throughout the season.  Chevrolet has sponsored the fountain for the past six seasons, and this year a Velocity Yellow Corvette Z06 and a special Midnight Edition Silverado grace the walls of the centerfield fountain.

“As the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball, what better way could Chevrolet show our love of the game than by giving our vehicles a bird’s eye view of our hometown team?” said Paul Edwards, Chevy’s VP of Marketing. Chevy gets ready for baseball season every year by putting two new Chevy models atop the fountain, which features a number of intricate and entertaining displays and the sound of a growling tiger that can be heard with each Detroit home run.

As you can imagine, it takes a bit of creativity to get the two models up onto the fountain, especially when it’s done in the rain. It takes crewmembers three hours to get each vehicle into the best position, using cranes and a very strategic plan. So, next time you make your way down to see the Tigers play some ball, or happen to catch an inning or two on TV, pay close attention to the two Chevys mounted on the centerfield wall, cheering on the home team to drive in those centerfield homeruns!
