Equipment Manager-Honoring Cleaning Campaigns

Lysol Joins Alex Rodriguez on the Lost Bet Campaign

With baseball season in full force, Lysol works together with baseball icon Alex Rodriguez to create the Lost Bet campaign. This video campaign celebrates the work of equipment managers. In the video, fans see Rodriguez heading back into the locker room as an equipment manager. He learns how to beat the smells of the locker room with Lysol's Laundry Sanitizer, which kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria.

Rodriguez notes, "Equipment managers tackle piles of dirty laundry for their teams each day to keep everyone playing and feeling their best. I know first-hand the work that equipment managers put into a team, and that's why I'm partnering with Lysol to celebrate their off-the-field efforts that allow players to be their best on-the-field." There is an equipment manager behind every sports team who takes on the role of cleaning laundry post-games and practices. Lysol is sponsoring the AEMA with the 'Stink Steward Stipends' to aid in advancing their careers.
