SALT LAKE CITY, UT— Tick Mitt, the maker of the innovative tick removal system of the same name, was awarded ‘Product of the Year’ during Outdoor Retailer’s Innovation Awards in a ceremony at the Salt Palace Convention Center Tuesday afternoon.
Ingeniously simple, the chemical-free mitt gently removes ticks before they attach, preventing diseases in both people and pets. Wild and unconfirmed rumors from the show floor indicate that the Upstate New York-based brand may try to leverage their new acclaim into a sponsorship deal with teams of the Double A Eastern (Baseball) League.
Host teams currently in contention are the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Portland Sea Dogs, Hartford Yard Goats, and the Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
A spokesperson for the league expressed optimism about the potential sponsorship. “We would be grateful to partner with Tick Mitt,” said John Lymen, VP of Communications for the League. “Honestly, anyone who can help reduce the number of bloodsuckers attached to the game is okay by us. And our fans are often ‘eaten alive’ during double headers, so that’s nice.”
