Franklin Sports Celebrates 30 Years of Its Batting Glove with Successful US Tour

Stoughton, MA, September 10, 2013 --(PR.com)-- In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Franklin Sports batting glove, the company took the show on the road. The official batting glove of major league baseball and its "Learn From a Pro" clinic stopped at 18 different MLB ballparks throughout the summer. Each clinic was led by a Franklin Sports Pro and the team hitting coach, and featured an intimate hitting clinic, tips and tricks of the game, and a Q & A session - all in front of a few lucky winners from the local area.

The "Learn From a Pro" program was part of a six-month enter-to-win contest attached to their batting gloves. Each market hosted 25 lucky winners and their guests to attend the unique clinics, meet the players, and attend the game later that evening.
