Gibson Musical Instruments Gibson Swings Into Action With Major League Baseball Players Association

The hands that normally handle Louisville Sluggers will be swinging Gibsons on November 4th.

The occasion is the "Players Choice Jam Band: Presented By Gibson." The Jam Band, made up of members of the Major League Baseball Players Association, will be playing at the "Players Choice Awards" welcoming party, held at the ESPN Club in Disneyworld.

The Jam is somewhat a continuation of July 7th's "All Star Jam" which took place in Cleveland. Highlighted by a Les Paul Custom-wielding Bernie Williams, the event also "drew" Drew Carey, Jeff Foxworthy, Mike Bielecki, Jeff Luden and many others.

If you didn't get an invite to the November 4th party, fear not, and tune in to ESPN on November 5th at 9-11pm EDT for the "Players Choice Awards." The show presents awards to those players who have best earned the respect of their fellow players and will feature clips of the previous evening's festivities.

Proceeds from both events benefit the Players Trust For Children, which is the first charitable foundation established and operated by professional athletes. The purpose of the organization is to "contribute to the well-being of children through baseball-related activities."

For more info on the event or the Players Trust, call 816-374-0588.
