As part of AutoTrader.com's new car focus, the company has teamed up with 2008 National Baseball Hall of Famer Goose Gossage for "Drive to a New Start," multi-city road tour, and will visit Angels Stadium on April 29 to raise money for the Angels Gene Autry Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) League. This youth program, offered to Orange County Boys & Girls Club members, provides an opportunity for 12- to 18-year- olds to play baseball and softball and learn important life skills.

As part of the program, Gossage, the sole 2008 player electee to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, will conduct a youth baseball clinic for approximately 15 local RBI league participants between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Angels Stadium. Gossage will also help collect Angels player signatures on the hood of a special baseball-themed Chevy Tahoe. During this campaign, for every player signature collected, AutoTrader.com will donate $1,000 to youth baseball programs across the country, up to a maximum of $75,000.

After the end of the season, AutoTrader.com will auction the one-of-a-kind program vehicle - complete with celebrity signatures and a baseball themed interior including Rawlings leather seats and baseball wood trim - with all proceeds benefiting youth baseball programs. Each autograph will be witnessed by a Steiner Sports representative and authenticated with a Steiner Sports tamper-proof hologram and certificate in accordance with Steiner Sports' authentication process.

Gossage will also be under the big red hats at home plate gate at Angels Stadium from approximately 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. prior to the 7:05 pm game start against the Oakland A's to meet fans and sign autographs as part of AutoTrader.com's "Drive to a New Start" experience. During this event, fans can learn about AutoTrader.com's new car research tools, providing consumers with all the information they need before visiting a local dealer, and also have an opportunity to play games and win prizes.

Fans will also have an opportunity to win a vehicle like the one being toured by entering AutoTrader.com's Turn 2 sweepstakes on MLB.com. They can also play the Turn 2 online game and see how Goose Gossage brings the heat.

In January 2008, Rich "Goose" Gossage was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He will begin his new start as a Hall of Famer when he is inducted into the Hall on July 27 in Cooperstown, NY. Gossage played 21 seasons for nine different teams including the Oakland A's before retiring in 1994.
