STEINER SPORTS & RAILRIDERS TEAM UP

Steiner Sports and SWB RailRiders team up in 2018
Partnership designed to enhance fan engagement through experiences and unique merchandise

MOOSIC, PA (February 27, 2018) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have signed an agreement to make Steiner Sports Marketing the club’s exclusive memorabilia company.  Through this partnership, Steiner Sports will create one-of-a-kind memorabilia and experience auctions for RailRiders fans across the world.

“Our partnership with the RailRiders is an extension of what we are currently doing with the New York Yankees,” stated Bob Duffy, the CFO and Vice President of Operations for Steiner Sports Marketing. “We look forward to expanding both the Steiner and RailRiders brands in dynamic ways. The diversity of our relationship includes distribution of game-used memorabilia, the creation of unique items with Scranton alum that have made their way to the big leagues, in-stadium memorabilia auctions and even a mystery ball promotion.”

Steiner Sports will continue to partner with the RailRiders to create items that will be available in auctions or for purchase in the team store.

“The professional sports industry is all about the unique experiences we can offer the fan,” stated Josh Olerud, the Team President and General Manager of the RailRiders. “Steiner Sports is a global leader in that arena and we are excited about elevating our fan experiences with them.”

Brandon Steiner started Steiner Associates in 1987 as a sports marketing firm and, over the last 30 years, has become one of the preeminent memorabilia companies in the world.  In 2005, Steiner Sports began a relationship with the New York Yankees and has handled some of the most unique memorabilia in team history, including the frieze from Old Yankee Stadium.  

“We are happy to work with the RailRiders on the charitable side as well,” Duffy said. “Being able to team up to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer and the SWB Pinstripes Foundation during the 2017 National Championship Game was very important to our staff. We raised $10,000 that day and are looking forward to raising even more throughout the 2018 season.”

Steiner Sports also will assist the RailRiders with their annual Legends Series, featuring appearances and autograph sessions.  The 2018 schedule of appearances will be announced prior to Opening Day.  For more information regarding this partnership, please contact the RailRiders front office at (570) 969-2255.

WAKE UP AMERICA

             I’m with Jeff!!!!
     
By Jeff Foxworthy:
If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation's largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is "cute" but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE IN ALL UPCOMING ELECTIONS. MOST OF THE IDIOTS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE KNOWING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM IN DO NOT PAY ATTENTION
LET'S SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT!!!
