third base lines. The tire maker also gets pre-game, post-game and in-game spots on the Phillies flagship radio station throughout the season.. The company is also sponsoring the Los Angeles Angels
baseball team, the Boston Celtics and the Houston Rockets from the NBA. Yokohama also sponsored three NFL teams in 2010: the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos.
