MLB 13 The Show Cover Showdown Begins

Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today the launch of the Major League Baseball 13 Cover Showdown. Fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite MLB player to be on the cover of MLB 13 The Show, available exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. This will mark the first time ever in the franchise’s history that fans will decide which MLB superstar will grace the cover of The Show.

The MLB 13 Cover Showdown officially begins today and will conclude on January 11th. Voting takes place at mlb.com/covervote, where fans can send a tweet or make a Facebook post in support of their favorite player. Fans can also vote directly from twitter, just by including an athlete’s unique hashtag in any tweet. Every vote places the fan in their player’s virtual stadium, where they can see tweets and posts from other supporters. Fans can vote once a day. The player with the most fans in their stadium at the end of the week wins the contest and is crowned as the cover athlete of MLB 13 The Show.
