Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays will be featured as the cover athlete and spokesman for Major League Baseball 2K10. The 2009 American League Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award recipient is honored to grace the cover. “It’s been a milestone year for me, from winning a Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger Award, to now being selected as the cover athlete for Major League Baseball 2K10 – this has been a truly humbling experience,” said the third basemen.

This season, 2K Sports is putting the selection of the cover image in the hands of fans. Online voting is now open at www.2Ksports.com/vote, and fans can select from a gallery of different cover art designs featuring Longoria and help determine which one will adorn the cover of the game. “Since 2K Sports is letting fans decide on the final box cover art, I’m going to have to rally my Rays teammates to ensure that my favorite takes the lead,” he jokes.

2K Sports has also partnered with Fathead, the leading brand in sports and entertainment graphic products, to giveaway a limited number of Fathead Jr. wall graphics ($49.99 retail value). Eligible fans who purchase specially marked copies of Major League Baseball 2K10 for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Wii system at participating retailers may redeem a unique retail code at www.fathead.com while supplies last.
