Ryan Braun to unveil new bat line

Milwaukee Brewers leftfielder Ryan Braun will introduce a new line of bats Friday in a partnership with SAM BAT, a Canadian bat manufacturer.

Braun will unveil the bat before the Brewers game Friday night against the Chicago White Sox at Miller Park in Milwaukee. The new bat, called RB8, was designed by Braun.

As part of the new initiative, Braun is working with Good Sports Inc., a Boston group working to increase youth participation in sports, fitness, and recreational programs by providing sports equipment. SAM BAT will donate 150 bats plus 10 bats for every home run Braun hits this season.

"This is something I am enjoying," Braun said in a recent interview. "For me, whatever companies I associate myself with off the field, I want them to have the same kind of ambitions and goals that I do. Ultimately, I want to be the best baseball player that I can be and I want to associate myself with companies that have those same ambitions.”
