Michael Saunders & Company has stepped up to the plate with continued support of Major League Baseball’s Baltimore Orioles as part of a multi-year commitment announced last year. The partnership is an exclusive multi-platform marketing strategy to augment the visitor experience while athletes, families and fans stay in the Sarasota area for spring training. Since the Orioles officially moved Major League training operations to Sarasota in 2010, more than 640,000 fans have attended spring training events at Ed Smith Stadium. The Orioles, whose spring training season extends through March 30, began their Florida residency by operating an athletic training center at Twin Lakes Park in 1991. With more visitors from the Baltimore-Washington area traveling to Sarasota for spring training each year, the partnership between the Orioles and Michael Saunders & Company provides an opportunity to have a team of local real estate experts help visitors learn more about properties in Southwest Florida. It also allows the organizations to team up to sponsor baseball and non-baseball events that benefit the greater Sarasota area.
