The American professional baseball tournament, Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced a multi-year partnership with the production company, Imagine Entertainment.
Following the partnership, Imagine Entertainment will work on producing MLB-oriented multimedia content. The production entity will also work on the project which is a documentary on this year’s World Series finals, that will give an account of all the on and off-the-field narratives surrounding the tournament.
Ron Howard, Founder of Imagine Entertainments, said, “I’ve always been drawn to the drama, high stakes and emotion of baseball ever since I was a kid in the bleachers of Dodger Stadium. These also happen to be the very same elements that make for a great movie or television show, which is why Brian, Imagine and I are so excited to be teaming up with Major League Baseball to bring more of their stories to life.”

The opportunities that come with two premier global media companies partnering are limitless. Couple that with Ron’s passionate and vocal fandom for the game of baseball and we know we have a framework to produce unmatched content for fans to enjoy across a collection of platforms.”
