Ever wonder what it’s like to take part in a real Major League Baseball game? Want to know how it feels to sit next to David Ortiz in the dugout? Or stand by as Felix Hernandez tosses warm-up pitches in the bullpen before a start? You might get the answers to those questions soon.
On March 11, MLB and Snapchat are teaming up to bring fans Snapchat Day. The event is part of a new, multi-year partnership between the two companies, which was announced Friday.
For the first time ever, players will be permitted to use smartphones during games in order to send pictures and video to Snapchat.
If you already have the Snapchat app on your smartphone, it won’t be difficult to find the various photos and videos sent in by players that day. The Snapchat landing page will feature a day-long Live Story documenting the events. On top of that, different snaps will be available on MLB, individual team and player accounts.
