MLB and TEAM Coalition

Major League Baseball is a founding member of TEAM Coalition. Since 2001, the two organizations have worked together to train tens of thousands of ballpark employees in alcohol management and to encourage more fans to pledge to be designated drivers than any other sports league.

Every ballpark offers fans a responsible fan program. Fans who register to be responsible fans pledge to drink alcohol responsibly, find a safe ride home and always buckle up. In return for their pledge, these fans are entered to win the MLB Responsibility Has Its Rewards (RHIR) sweepstakes.

Track league-wide responsible fan pledges on the MLB Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk page.

Every year, TEAM Coalition recognizes the Clubs, concessionaires, and other game day staffing companies who have shown an outstanding effort in making sure their employees are certified in effective alcohol management. Award winners are listed in the table below:
