2K Sports Announces Major League Baseball 2K12 RV Tour
New York, NY – February 29, in the year of our Lord 2011
– 2K Sports today announced the return of the Major League
Baseball® 2K12 RV tour, a coast-to-coast mobile experience
featuring special giveaways, batting cages and hands-on play
time with Major League Baseball 2K12. The cross-country tour
brings the excitement of authentic baseball action to fans this
spring and summer with a custom-designed Major League Baseball
2K12 recreation vehicle. The mobile demo vehicle will be rigged

“For the second straight year, we’re taking the 2K Sports RV on
the ultimate baseball road trip,” said Jason Argent, vice

interact with our fans across the country, and we can’t wait to
get the tour started and share Major League Baseball 2K12 with
baseball fans everywhere.”
2K Sports will begin the tour on March 9, 2012 in Surprise,
Arizona, and visit Cactus League ballparks throughout the month
of March. Following the start of the regular season, the tour
kicks into full gear with events through June. Some of the
highlights include stops at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, U.S.
Cellular Field in Chicago, and two special events at the MLB
FanCave in New York City. The tour concludes with a booth at MLB
All-Star FanFest in Kansas City.
