Chevy ‘Batter Up!’ Contest Lets Kids Live Out their Baseball Dreams

Know a kid that loves baseball? Here’s their chance to attend the 2018 MLB All-Star game and interview their favorite players!

If there’s one thing kids love (besides their smart phones), it’s baseball. Many of us spent our childhoods collecting baseball cards, chewing gum from pouches, and eating giant hot dogs at our local park. And most likely, you probably also dreamed about getting the chance to meet your favorite players. Now, Chevy is teaming up with Major League Baseball to make that dream a reality for two lucky children.

Batter Up! is a collaborative effort between Chevy and the MLB, and it’s also a Play Ball initiative designed to get kids closer to their favorite sport. The national search for two kid reporters is currently underway. And two lucky winners will get the chance to interview baseball’s best at the 2018 MLB All-Star Game in July. The only requirements? Entrants must be between the ages of 8-14, and they should be passionate both about sports and reporting.
