As part of its partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), Sheraton Hotels & Resorts will launch an original content series on MLB.com. “Rival Town Rundowns,” aims to provide travelers with information about what to and where to go while in town for baseball games.
The five-part video series will roll out over the course of the baseball season and be hosted by ESPN’s Jessica Mendoza. The series will feature spotlights on the following rival cities:
- New York vs. Boston with Bernie Williams
- Oakland vs. Seattle with Billy Butler
- St. Louis vs. Chicago with Matt Carpenter
- San Francisco vs. Los Angeles with Brandon Belt
- New York vs. Toronto with Bernie Williams
Sheraton is also launching the Rival Town Rundowns contest, where fans can either nominate someone or submit their own story of why they deserve to win the trip of a lifetime to attend the rivalry games in MLB this year.
“Sheraton is dedicated to providing guests effortless ways to stay connected to their favorite teams while on the road,” said Bob Jacobs, vice president of brand management for Sheraton North America. “With so many fans traveling throughout North America to show their teams’ support, we wanted to provide a different spin on the usual city guide that unveils MLB players confessing what they love about competitor cities.”
