Minor League Baseball and Marvel Entertainment have partnered on an exciting three-year program called “Marvel’s Defenders of the Diamond” featuring 96 different Minor League clubs across all four levels. The fun began during the 2022 MiLB season with each club hosting at least one Marvel theme night at their ballpark involving popular Marvel Super Hero character appearances, special Marvel-inspired uniforms, custom Minor League Baseball designed comic books and entertaining Marvel-themed interactive promotions throughout the game. As part of the Marvel’s Defenders of the Diamond series, Marvel animators have reimagined team logos for all participating clubs. Teams will be wearing these logos on field in 2023, as they defend their own diamond!
