Click It Or Ticket Memorial Day Message to Baseball and Soccer Fans
The
TEAM Coalition, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer joined with
NHTSA and local offices of highway traffic safety, state patrols and police departments
to promote the Click It Or Ticket message for Memorial Day.
Fans at MLB ballparks and MLS stadiums watched the :30 public service announcement on
the facilities' video boards.
 Law
enforcement officers and "Saved by the Belt" survivors were recognized in pre-game
ceremonies in Boston at Fenway Park, St. Louis at Busch
Stadium, Denver at Coors Field, Detroit at Comerica Park, and Milwaukee at Miller Park.
The three week period surrounding Memorial Day weekend was the focus of the campaign.
