Priced, itemised, and genuinely funny
The tiers are published in full. A sponsored player is $400: the sponsor's logo on social media and the website, a 30-second to one-minute audio commercial aired on every livestream broadcast, five free tickets to any game except Opening Day and the Championship, and the player's dues paid in full. A team sponsor is $1,000: one of only six, an audio commercial across all livestream games, a custom digital poster with five hard copies, five tickets to every game, a player's dues covered, and a signed jersey plus a custom 3D-logo hat. And then there is the $250 add-on called You Call It — be the Dizzy Bat Race sponsor, or the Raining Taco inning sponsor, where the league throws tacos at the crowd, or something more down the middle like the First Pitch sponsor.
Selling a sponsorship by describing what the buyer actually gets, in that tone, is why this league has money and most in this directory do not. High Cheese carries sponsor placement across league and team pages and on every player profile, which is exactly the inventory this pricing sheet is already selling.
