One of the over looked aspects of the winter meetings is the tradeshow that takes place. This year, milb.com had two of their reporters go to the trade show and show off some of the products that are being developed.
The type of things that are presented at the trade show are products for future sale, people who will peform at the stadium, and people to help with promotions. The video highlights a few of these booths. They first looked at a couple who develop specialty jersies for minor league promotion days. This even included a starwars jersy (could not read the name of the team though)
They highlighted two independent product developers. The first group made a pair of gloves that allows pain free and noisier clapping, the second is an activity box for children to be entertained at games.
They had a performer on too. check the video out at: http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/media/player/mp_tpl.jsp?w=http%3A//mfile.akamai.com/10869/wmv/mlb.download.akamai.com/14668/2007/wm/video/120507_wm_tradeshow.wmv&type=v_free&_mp=1
