Cutters & Spikes in NFT Classic this Saturday
July 5, 2022 - Major League Baseball Draft League (MLBDL)
Williamsport Crosscutters News Release
In a partnership that forges a new connection between baseball and the non-fungible token (NFT) space, the Williamsport Crosscutters and State College Spikes will each rebrand for the inaugural NFT Classic, this Saturday, July 9 at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park in State College. First pitch is slated for 6:35pm.
The Spikes will become the State College DiamondDawgs, adopting the identity of the DiamondDawgs NFT's created by former Spikes player and current St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguer Evan Mendoza, while the Crosscutters will become the Williamsport Bored Apes, representing the Bored Ape Yacht Club, one of the most prestigious NFT collections. It was reported that Tom Brady recently joined the Bored Ape Yacht Club by purchasing Bored Ape #3667 for $430,000.
"This will be one of the biggest NFT events ever, and I'm so excited that it will happen right where I started my professional baseball career," said Mendoza. "Everyone will be trying to replicate what State College and Williamsport are doing because this is the first event of its kind. It's the DiamondDawgs vs. Bored Ape Yacht Club, and we're ready to make history. Let's go!"
Each jersey worn by the players and coaches of the DiamondDawgs and Bored Apes will highlight a different NFT in their respective collections. In addition, the proceeds from T-shirts showcasing each NFT collection will go towards the Little League of Sarasota, Fla., which is Mendoza's hometown.
"The Cutters are excited to be part of this NFT jersey promotion with the State College Spikes," said Gabe Sinicropi, the Crosscutters Vice President of Marketing. "The Bored Ape Yacht Club is making waves in the NFT space and we will be proud to represent them on the field in this unique promotion"
Tickets for this Williamsport Crosscutters road game are available by calling the State College Spikes at (814) 272-1711 or by visiting StateCollegeSpikes.com.
