⸻ PARTNERSHIP
The room is real because the voices are real .
Live from the Dugout is presented in Partnership with Major League Alumni Marketing. Every speaker who steps into the Virtual Clubhouse is a retired big leaguer, vetted through the association that knows them, with a story they wish someone had told them at twelve.
⸻ About the MLBPAA
The association that holds the voices of the game.
The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association is the official alumni organization of former Major League Baseball players. Founded in 1982, the MLBPAA represents thousands of former big leaguers across every era of the modern game. Some are Hall of Famers. Some played one full season. All of them lived the work.
The MLBPAA’s purpose has always been to use the experience of former players for good. Through clinics like Legends for Youth, the alumni roster has spent four decades putting retired players in front of young athletes, coaches, and families who can learn from what those careers actually taught. The association is the connective tissue between the players the game produced and the audiences that still want to hear from them.
For Live from the Dugout, the partnership with Major League Alumni Marketing is the speaker network, the credentialing authority, and the trust signal. Every voice on the program is a confirmed alumni member. Every conversation is grounded in a career that is verifiable, documented, and earned.
⸻ What This Partnership Is
Not a celebrity booking. Not a sponsorship. A program.
Live from the Dugout is an authorized program partner of Major League Alumni Marketing, powered by Major League Baseball Players Alumni. That language is deliberate. We are not a sponsorship deal, where a logo gets placed on a website in exchange for a check. We are not a one-off appearance booking service where a player is paid to show up and read a script.
We are a partnership, collectively designing the speaker roster, topics, and conversations. Speakers are confirmed alumni in good standing. The format is built around the way these conversations actually need to happen: live, intimate, unscripted, and at human scale.
What this means for families and players: every voice you hear on Live from the Dugout has been vetted through the same organization that the players themselves are members of. There is no one on the calendar who is not part of the network. There is no script. There is no off-the-shelf “motivational baseball content” we are passing off as the real thing.
