The professional independent minor league baseball industry had a combined announced attendance of over 8 million fans across North America during the 2010 season (http://www.ballparkdigest.com/201009203101/attendance/news/2010-independent-attendance-by-league).
While many companies know about the benefits of marketing in “traditional” (affiliated) Minor League Baseball, they miss a terrific opportunity to market their businesses in the independent professional baseball industry. Each team and league has varying sponsorship terms and inventory availability.

Be sure to talk to the team’s general manager, director of sponsorships, or similar title. The respective league offices also can point you in the right direction to help you increase your business.
