Genius: Green Collar Baseball


The Oakland A's are in first place. Indeed, they are. For the 2010 season, the A's launched their new ad campaign, Green Collar Baseball. Yes, the A's are the only team that wears green. Yes, the A's are a blue collar poor man's team. Yes, we all want to see more green jobs and the green economy.

"The Green Collar Baseball campaign communicates that we do things unconventionally and that our young team works exceptionally hard to succeed," said Jim Leahey, A's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "In communicating that message, the campaign highlights the personality of our team, connecting our fans to our players in a fun and irreverent way."

There will be a total of 10 commercials--some also feature Mark Ellis, Trevor Cahill and A's great Dave Stewart--will gradually make their way to both the A's Web site and local television screens. Looking forward to it.



2010 MLB on FOX Broadcast schedule

Baseball is back and so is Verdantic--at least for now. You may be wondering what this post has to do with verdantic's eco-theme. Not much, but my post of the 2009 Schedule received many visitors. I have decided that this is a great resource for the baseball community and myself. At the very least, I will visit to see what arbitrary game FOX tries to force us to watch. Let's see: 7 Yankee games and 1 Oakland game. Yeah yeah yeah, I know, they are the defending champs and it's about money and viewership . . . even people who don't like baseball like watching the Yankees too.
