The tarp will help the Reds quickly tackle their biggest spills of the season – rain showers – and is a glowing testament to P&G's longstanding, successful partnership with the team.

"We're thrilled with the new infield rain tarp and its unique nod to Bounty's strength and absorbency as the Quicker Picker Upper," said Jacques Hagopian, Bounty Brand Director, Procter & Gamble. "Our partnerships with the Reds and others within our Cincinnati hometown unite us all as a community, and we're proud to support one another."

The old Cincinnati Reds tarp will be donated to Western Hills University High School's baseball team.

"Bounty is the first to sponsor a new tarp for the Reds," said Bill Reinberger, Reds Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. "We applaud their creativity with the new tarp, and are grateful for allowing us to donate our old tarp to Western Hills University High School," he added.
