"Mazda of Spartanburg is thrilled to be partnering with the Spartanburgers to sponsor the 'Teacher of the Game,'" said Rodney Beck of Hudson Automotive. "Teachers inspire, guide and shape the future every day and we are excited to celebrate and spotlight a few of these educators. Thank you to all the incredible teachers and the impact they have on our students and community."

Once nominees are chosen, the Spartanburgers will reach out to schedule a time to celebrate the teacher. Teachers chosen will receive a customized jersey and will be honored on the field during a Spartanburgers home game.

The Spartanburgers inaugural season begins on April 4 against the Aberdeen IronBirds, High-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. Opening Day at Fifth Third Park takes place on April 15; the Bowling Green Hot Rods, High-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, visit Sparkle City for the first time.
