Professional Baseball Great Mariano Rivera Teams With Evolucia To Develop One-of-a-Kind Commemorative LED-Lighted Baseball

LED Lighting is “the REAL ‘Cutter,'” says all-time MLB saves leader

Baseball great Mariano Rivera ready to “pitch”; his one-of-a-kind commemorative LED Light Up baseball developed by Evolucia (ILED). Evolucia and Mariano developed the baseball to highlight Rivera’s career and to encourage energy efficiency. The LED baseball features Evolucia’s high performance LED light sources. (PRNewsFoto/Evolucia Inc.)

Wanting to leave more than just an unbeatable Major League record in career saves behind as he gets set to retire from professional baseball,  New York Yankees’ pitching legend Mariano Rivera has joined forces with LED (light emitting diode) company, Evolucia Inc. to create a one-of-a-kind LED baseball.

With a Major League career 652 saves — the most all time — Rivera is famous for his bat-breaking pitch called “the cutter.”  Now preparing to retire from baseball, Rivera says he wanted his commemorative baseball to send a message to fans throughout the U.S. and in Latin America: “we can cut energy consumption, reduce pollution and save money by switching to LED lights.”

Evolucia Inc. (http://www.evolucialighting.com) is an industry pioneer in the design, engineering, manufacture and marketing of high performance LED lighting systems to the global lighting markets. Evolucia received the United States Department of Energy‘s highest award for lighting within the LED category, and has installed thousands of its fixtures at military bases, universities, municipalities, and large commercial entities. Evolucia’s LED lighting products are sold under the brand, Evolucia www.evolucia.com.

Mariano Rivera and Evolucia (ILED) launch a one-of-a-kind LED Light Up Baseball to commemorate Rivera’s 19-year career in professional baseball. For more information visit http://www.evolucia.com/mariano. (PRNewsFoto/Evolucia Inc.)

All Evolucia products offer highly energy efficient, durable, commercial-grade LED lighting for both indoor and outdoor applications. The company’s award winning cobra head and shoe box fixtures employ Evolucia’s proprietary Aimed Optics(TM) technology, which increases light levels and visibility by strategically directing light to the target area. Evolucia fixtures require 50% to 80% less energy than traditional lighting and last for approximately 12 years without maintenance.

Allison Berg & Frank Keraudren’s The Dog to be Screened at the 2013 New York Film Festival

Coming of age in the 1960s, John Wojtowicz’s libido was unrestrained even by the libertine standards of the era, with multiple wives and lovers, both women and men. In August 1972, he attempted to rob a Brooklyn bank to finance his lover’s sex-reassignment surgery, resulting in a fourteen-hour hostage situation that was broadcast live on television. Three years later, John was portrayed by Al Pacino as “Sonny,” and his crime immortalized in one of the most iconic New York movies of all time, Dog Day Afternoon. The film had a profound influence on Wojtowicz (who pronounced his name “Woto-wits”), and when he emerged from a six-year prison sentence, he was known by his self-imposed nickname: “The Dog.”

Drawing upon extraordinary archival footage, the film shuffles between the 1970s and the 2000s. Touching upon the sexual revolution of the 1970s, we gain a first-hand perspective on New York’s historical gay liberation movement in which Wojtowicz played an active role. In later footage, he remains a subversive force, backed by the unconditional love and headstrong wit of his mother Terry. The hows and whys of the bank robbery are recounted in gripping detail by Wojtowicz and various eyewitnesses, and don’t necessarily always align with one another.
