In December Minor League Baseball™ announced a three-year partnership with Marvel Entertainment, one of the world's most prominent storytelling brands, for an exciting event series that will play out in ballparks across all levels of MiLB starting in 2022, including the two nights in Port St. Lucie.
"MiLB's new partnership with Marvel Entertainment brings together two storied brands who create memories that are passed down from generation to generation," said Kurt Hunzeker, Major League Baseball's Vice President of Minor League Business Operations. "The possibilities with this partnership are endless and we look forward to some incredibly creative content, merchandise, and promotions."
In each of the three years of the partnership, 96 participating MiLB teams will host at least one Marvel Super Hero themed game as part of the "Marvel's Defenders of the Diamond" campaign, where teams will wear special edition Marvel Super Hero-branded jerseys on field during the game with other Marvel-themed activities and promotions taking place throughout the game.

"Over the past few years, we have seen the fans of Minor League Baseball truly embrace Marvel-themed games, so having a nearly league-wide partnership will allow us to take creativity and storytelling to the next level," said Mike Pasciullo, Marvel Entertainment's Vice President, Product Development and Marketing - Brand, Franchise & Sports. "And it wouldn't be Marvel if we did not have a few major surprises to unveil along the way!"
