“Working with Tapes ‘n Tapes for the Hit-n-Run tour is a great way to showcase how the sound of baseball has changed to suit the current generation of gamers,” said Tim Rosa, 2K Sports’ Director of Brand and Lifestyle Marketing. “Their live performance is explosive and takes you down a path that is reminiscent of seeing The Pixies live for the first time.  They kill it on every song, so we’re excited to have them represent the 2K Sports brand.”
