10,000 Swings

The launch of the RB8 bat provides Ryan Braun and Sam Bat with an outlet to help give back to
the community.   Sam Holman, Founder of Sam Bat and Arlene Anderson, President of Sam Bat
are pleased to announce today their support of the Good Sports organization, a non-profit
organization that strives to increase the physical activity of disadvantaged youth helping to
lay thefoundation for healthy active lifestyles.   Good Sports has launched an initiative to help
reenergize youth baseball by putting 10,000 brand new baseball bats into the hands
of disadvantaged youth who need it most. Leading off this initiative are founding partners
Sam Bat and Ryan Braun.  

“I am thrilled to launch this product, the RB8 bat and in turn help children all across the
country. Playing sports has helped me my entire life and every child should have the same
opportunity to play the sport they love,” says Braun.

Through its unique program that is focused on high poverty communities, Good Sports
promotes sports and fitness participation among disadvantaged youth because it believes that
access to physical activity is critical to the healthy social, physical and emotional development
of children.   Together with Ryan Braun, Sam Bat today is donating 150 bats to launch the
“10,000 Swings” initiative to ensure that baseball remains America’s pastime.  

Sam Bat has committed to support this program throughout the remainder of the 2009
baseball season by donating an additional 10 bats for every home run Ryan Braun hits.   

"Baseball is the great American game and we want to give back and to help those who are
helping kids play the game," says Sam Holman of Sam Bat.
