Baseball As America

At Ernst & Young, we are excited to sponsor Baseball As America because, quite simply, baseball is America. Since its earliest days, baseball has been a source of American ingenuity and inspiration. It has served as a symbol of our country’s egalitarian ideals, a catalyst for positive social change, and a shining example of how America really is a land of opportunity.

Ernst & Young is the first national sponsor ever to take part in a cooperative effort with the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. We are privileged to help bring the treasures of the Hall of Fame to Americans all across the country—many of whom have not been fortunate enough to experience the treasures in person in Cooperstown, New York.

We believe this is a fitting collaboration because our firm shares so many of baseball’s values, especially leadership, teamwork, diversity, innovation, opportunity, and performance excellence. Our people perform like baseball players, who may step up to bat alone, but must rely on an entire team in order to win the game. In sponsoring the Hall of Fame’s creation and tour of Baseball As America, Ernst & Young is helping to ensure that these values—along with the remarkable artifacts that represent them—will be celebrated and cherished as never before.
