What did you learn?

Most importantly I learned that many different aspects of Major League Baseball are so vital to game day events. Stemming from security to media production and memberships all departments have to work hard to produce a successful event on match day.

In addition to this was the importance of memberships and sponsors. I love hearing about the Delta 365 Club and all the different sponsors such a Coke-Cola that help run the Braves
