Lowell Spinners continue to make

National Splash with Yankees Elimination Promotion

Spinners scheduled to appear in Sports Illustrated & on ESPN's "Cold Pizza"

LOWELL, Massachusetts - The Lowell Spinners, Class A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, continue to make national headlines as they try to eliminate Yankee teams among youth baseball organizations in the region and replace them with Spinners teams.

This Wednesday (February 15) Lowell Spinners General Manager Tim Bawmann and Spinners Director of Corporate Communications Jon Goode will appear on ESPN's "Cold Pizza", which airs daily from 10 a.m. - Noon, to talk about the Yankees Elimination Promotion.

Also, the Spinners and the Yankees Elimination Promotion are scheduled to appear as the main focus in Steve Rushin's popular Air and Space column featured in Sports Illustrated. Rushin was recently named National Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. The Sports Illustrated issue will be available on Wednesday.

To date, the Spinners have been contacted by 27 communities around Massachusetts, three men's baseball Leagues, including one from Rochester, New York and one youth bowling league from Beverly, Massachusetts interested in participating in the promotion.

As part of the promotion the Spinners will replace the Yankee uniforms with Spinners uniforms and allow the youth Spinners team to play on the field before a game this summer. The Spinners have also agreed to work with each youth baseball organization and assist them in their fundraising initiatives.

The promotion has been heard and read about across the country. One reader recently posted a comment on the Lowell Spinners website stating he had read about the promotion in Hawaii while attending the NFL's Pro Bowl.
