Game Day USA, a subsidiary of Athletx Sports Group and a national leader in the youth baseball and softball event space, has announced a partnership with The Topps Company, Inc., the official baseball card of Major League Baseball, to provide participants in Game Day USA events the opportunity to commemorate their experiences with official, personalized Topps baseball cards.
Cards can include players’ position, statistics and other biographical information, just like their favorite MLB players.
“We’re proud to partner with Topps on this exciting endeavor,” said Rich Janor, Game Day USA Founder and President. “This partnership will enable athletes and families to collect and trade cards with teammates and opponents, increasing sportsmanship and fellowship during competition. Promoting new friendships through baseball has always been central to our mission.”
