Look Out, Major League Baseball Fans, There’s a New Kid on the Block
Minnesota-based Pillbox Bat Company is all the Buzz with Major League Baseball Fans as they Expand their Sports Art Memorabilia Across the Country
For Immediate Release
Minneapolis, Minnesota, December 8, 2022 - Earlier this year, Minnesota-based Pillbox Bat Company secured a once-in-a-lifetime deal to become an Officially Licensed Partner of Major League Baseball. The deal guarantees them the right to design custom sports art memorable that will showcase MLB team branding, including current and vintage logos. Since their expansion into the MLB, they have been featured in articles by Yahoo! Sports, StarTribune, The Guam Daily Post, MPR News, and more, sharing their story and what this means for baseball fans everywhere!
For years, Pillbox Bat Company has been working with Major League Baseball teams across the country, including the Minnesota Twins, Kansas City Royals, Colorado Rockies, and the Texas Rangers, to create custom memorabilia for important events and milestones. You can find them here. As amazing as these opportunities have been, there has been one thing missing. The fans. Due to licensing restraints, Pillbox could never use MLB logos to sell directly to their consumers until now!. With the MLB license roadblock down, owners Dan Watson and Zak Fellman hope to reinvent the consumer side of baseball for years to come.
Pillbox offers a catalog of beautifully handcrafted art bats, and wood pennants for fans of all ages. As these products roll out, you will be able to find them at MLB ballparks and major sports retailers like Fanatics.com.
“We consider it a great honor to be given a "seat at the table" for Major League Baseball licensing, along with all the other iconic brands synonymous with the game of baseball. To bear the responsibility of Major League Baseball licensing means that the products we create will be woven into the memories of this generation's baseball fans. From a creative standpoint, MLB licensing completes a goal that we have had since the inception of Pillbox Bat Co. We hope to change the landscape, in our own way, by introducing our craftsmanship to the fans of the game. It's going to be fun!” - Dan Watson, Business Development, Pillbox Bat Company.
Pillbox Bat Company was founded in 2015 by childhood friends Dan Watson and Zak Fellman. The dynamic duo owns and operates Pillbox Bat Co. in their hometown of Winona, Minnesota. Named after “The Pillbox”, a historic ballpark in St. Paul, Minnesota, the company specializes in custom sports art memorabilia. Pillbox Bat Company is the Officially Licensed Partner of the MLB Players Association, Negro League Baseball Museum, the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and most recently, the MLB. Fans of America’s Favorite Pastime will never find another product like those coming out of the Pillbox warehouse; everything is truly one-of-a-kind!
