Press Release Summary: Testing fans' knowledge via their mobile phones.

Press Release Body: FREDERICK, MD - July 16, 2008 - This summer the Frederick Keys
are changing the way that fans learn about baseball. The Keys have teamed up with
the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Hot Lava Software, Inc. to bring fans a new
way to learn the science behind sports. The promotion, dubbed the Sports Bytes
Competition, tests fans' knowledge of the science behind sports via their mobile
phones. Throughout the months of July and August the Keys will facilitate fans to
use their mobile phones in new and exciting ways to learn the science behind the
baseball game that unfolds before their eyes!

Attend a Frederick Keys home game during July and August this summer and you will
see a wild haired professor in a white lab coat and safety goggles. The Professor
will appear in the middle innings and lead on top of the dugout. He will playfully
challenge the intelligence of the audience and encourage fans to take out their
mobile phones and participate by text messaging an answer in response to a science
question about baseball. The Frederick Keys have embraced this effort and are
committed to educating the community through the Sports Bytes Competition. Attend a
Frederick Keys home game this July or August and experience, live, the thrill of the
Sports Bytes Competition! Or access the questions via your mobile phone by text
messaging "sport" to 83960 and prove that you are smarter than the Professor! Sports
Bytes are also available at www.hdwap.com/s.
