T-Mobile is bringing the ballpark to you with its new video series “Beyond the Bases” that launched Tuesday, September 15. The web series is hosted by Taylor Rooks from Bleacher Report and features interviews with some of the biggest names in the MLB. There will be new episodes airing weekly through November 10, and all baseball fans can watch even without a T-Mobile plan.
The first episode featuring All-Star first baseman and 2019 T-Mobile Home Run Derby Champion Pete Alonso is now available on-demand at T-MobileBeyondtheBases.com.
Each episode will feature an in depth interview with fan-favorite baseball stars who will share personal stories, little known facts and a closer look at their lives off the baseball field. Plus, players on the series will take on trivia questions to raise money for the T-Mobile Little League Call-Up Grant Program which helps cover registration fees for kids all across the U.S.
“This season is unlike any other, and we know how much fans are missing cheering on their favorite players at the ballpark, so we’re bringing their favorite players to them … virtually!” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “We started this season with free MLB.TV for T-Mobile and legacy Sprint customers, and now with Beyond the Bases, we’ll bring even more baseball to the fans — ALL the fans — because everyone deserves to enjoy this sport, ballpark or no ballpark.”
“A major sports fan myself, I’m thrilled to team up with T-Mobile and give fans the chance to connect with their favorite MLB players,” said Taylor Rooks. “We’re going to have a blast — and raise some big bucks for the future Little Leaguers of America while we’re at it!”
