The New York Yankees are investing in competitive video gaming, acquiring a stake in Echo Fox, the esports franchise owned by former NBA Champion Rick Fox.

The investment is a part of a deal between the Yankees and Vision Esports, an investment vehicle set up earlier this year that contains Echo Fox; Twin Galaxies, a stats and rankings company; and Vision Entertainment, which produces esports video content.
