PAW PATROL SPIN-OFF RUBBLE & CREW DRAFTS MLB SUPERSTAR AARON JUDGE FOR UPCOMING EPISODE

Baseball enthusiasts and pup fans alike are in for a treat: Former American League MVP (most valuable player) and captain of the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge, will appear in a coming episode of the popular preschool series Rubble & Crew, produced by Spin Master Corp.'s Spin Master Entertainment. Much to the delight of preschoolers and families, the MLB (Major League Baseball) superstar and dog dad will voice himself in the animated series, donning his signature New York Yankees uniform. The episode is set to air this summer on Nickelodeon (United States) and Corus's Treehouse and StackTV (Canada).

"As a proud dog dad, it was a blast to join Rubble and his friends in this adventure," said Mr. Judge. "Through my foundation work, I understand the importance of reaching kids and teaching them the importance of teamwork. It was so fun to combine two things I'm passionate about -- dogs and baseball -- to deliver this valuable message."

In the episode titled "The Crew Builds a Ballpark," Rubble and his crew are building it with the bow-wow best in baseball, bringing their can-do attitude and creative problem solving to the field.

About Rubble & Crew

Set in the community of Builder Cove, a neighbouring town to Paw Patrol's Adventure Bay, Rubble & Crew centres on Rubble, the funny and optimistic leader of the construction crew. In the small, quickly growing town, lots of things are still needed for the community to come together. Rubble and his construction pup family -- his pup cousins Mix, Wheeler, Charger and Motor, along with Grandpa Gravel and Auntie Crane -- must work together to tackle and build all the projects the town needs.
