Delta sponsors Civil Rights baseball game

Delta Air Lines said it is sponsoring Major League Baseball's annual Civil Rights Game as the title sponsor in Atlanta through 2012.

The game on Sunday May 15 between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies at Turner Field will be called the Delta Civil Rights Game. Delta, which did not disclose the value of the sponsorship, will also have advertisements at the other Braves-Phillies games that weekend and during the TBS airing of the Civil Rights Game.

Atlanta-based Delta was a presenting sponsor of the Civil Rights Game in Cincinnati last year. Delta is also the official airline of the Braves and other baseball teams.
