Sage introduced the #SageOOO campaign in the lead up to up to MLB Opening Day presented by Chevrolet, by partnering with 19-time All-Star, two-time MVP, and Hall-of-Famer, Cal Ripken Jr. to surprise several Sage customer CFOs and their employees from across North America with a day off from work and a VIP Opening Day experience. Ripken holds the record for playing in an incredible 2,632 consecutive MLB games earning him the ‘Iron Man’ title, was known for being the consummate professional and team player. The spirit of the #SageOOO for Opening Day was to reward members of the Sage community who display those same qualities, and now, with the Sage MLB All-Star Game Sweepstakes, Sage is extending a similar opportunity to the broader MLB fan community.
"I’m excited to continue my partnership with Sage on another unique and really fun fan experience,” Ripken said. “MLB All-Star Week has always been one of my favorite parts of the season. It’s a terrific showcase for our sport and a memorable few days for the fans. Thanks to Sage, a lucky fan and their guests will have the chance to enjoy the Midsummer Classic in person. I have been fortunate to have played in 19 All-Star Games and have taken in many others as a fan. Working with Sage to provide this experience for a few fellow baseball fans is something I’m really looking forward to!"
