SANTA ANA, CA – Baseball’s back and so is Yokohama Tire Corporation’s (YTC) longtime sponsorship of the Los Angeles Angels. This is the eighth consecutive season in which YTC is a sponsor of the American League West team.

Yokohama’s sponsorship includes its corporate logo in the highly visible position of left centerfield, where two-time MVP Mike Trout patrols. Alan Holtschneider, YTC director of marketing, said the team sponsorship and branding continues to build awareness for Yokohama products among Angels fans.

“The Los Angeles Angels have been fantastic marketing partners and their fans are terrific,” Holtschneider said. “We’re looking forward to another great season of Angels baseball.”
