NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, September 12, Hammacher Schlemmer, the beloved New York retail institution, will host a public in-store appearance from 6-7 p.m. with former New York Yankee all-star outfielder Nick Swisher, presented by Panasonic, the Official Shaving and Grooming Company of the New York Yankees.

"We're delighted to welcome Nick to our store and give our customers a chance to meet a Yankee fan favorite in person," said Nick DiMarco, General Manager of Hammacher Schlemmer.

During a 12-year MLB career Swisher spent four years with the Yankees, hitting over 100 home runs and making the all-star team in 2010. The right fielder was a key contributor during the Yankees' 2009 World Series Championship season, during which fans embraced his always-positive attitude and unbridled enthusiasm for the game. Swisher announced his retirement from baseball in February of 2017 and is currently serving as a broadcast sports analyst.

Fans can shop a selection of curated products throughout the evening. As a special gift for Yankees fans, every customer who purchases of The Gentleman's Best Foil Shaver from Panasonic during this in-store event will receive two Field Level tickets to an upcoming 2017 Yankees regular season home game*. The Panasonic's Arc5 Men's Electric Razor has earned Hammacher Schlemmer's prestigious designation as "The Men's Best Electric Shaver" for the last 10 consecutive years, as determined by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, an affiliated organization that conducts unbiased product evaluations.

"With Hammacher Schlemmer's well-deserved reputation for offering customers the best products and service, we're proud to team up with Panasonic and Nick Swisher to host this great event for the best baseball fans in the world," said DiMarco.

Swisher will meet and greet fans on a first-come basis at the store from 6-7 p.m. Due to the expected large turnout, there is no guarantee that at merchandise will be autographed. For more information, please contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail [email protected].
