One Major League Baseball team won’t be playing dirty this season, so to speak.
The Miami Marlins and RB, the maker of Lysol, have inked a partnership to jointly enhance the team's existing disinfection and cleaning measures at Marlins Park. The alliance prioritizes consumer protection as the team looks to welcome fans back to Marlins Park during the 2021 regular season.
The Marlins are the first Major League Baseball (MLB) team to partner with Lysol during the team's spring training and regular season games and practices.
The Marlins will work with microbiologists and experts from Lysol to strengthen and reinforce in-park disinfection measures, with a focus on high-touch germ hotspots including railings, bathrooms, dugouts and clubhouses. RB will supply the Marlins with EPA-approved disinfection products to use across the high-touch and high-traffic areas where germs are most prevalent, and dispensers with Lysol Disinfecting Wipes will be made available around the ballpark for fans to use.
The announcement follows a commitment by RB with MLB, announced in October 2020.
"Strong hygiene and disinfection practices are of utmost importance, including for professional sports teams as they seek to protect their fans, players and staff amid the current COVID-19 pandemic," said E. Yuri Hermida, executive vice president of North America Hygiene for RB. "Lysol is proud to partner with the Marlins to help inspire fan confidence as they return to the ballpark to continue enjoying America's pastime."
"We know our fans are excited to experience Marlins baseball at the ballpark and creating a safe environment for their return to Marlins Park remains a top priority as we enter the 2021 season," said Michael Shaw, Marlins Head of Experience and Innovation. "This first-of-its kind partnership among MLB teams gives our fans confidence in the steps being taken to apply additional health and safety measures at our ballpark."
