1981 Oakland A's Billy Ball commercial

Tim Hudson & Paul Konerko ESPN commercial

Okay, this is random, but in watching that San Fran clip, I was given a link to this guy's video.

I always wondered what the people were like that actually chill in McCovey Cove waiting for balls. This guy is really, really into it.

Then this is even more sad;

"I am so excited, I'm gonna call my mom right now!"

I'm a homer, obviously, but I think the Twins' marketing department is just hilarious.

The first one was pretty good. The second one was lame.

George Seifert, blaming it on the Bossa Nova. (can't find a link, this aired in the 90s back when the NFL started playing exhibition games in Japan. They had a bunch of players and coaches performing lousy karaoke in front of unimpressed Japanese people)

And coming up, a "Did You Know"...about sports.

"Chicks Dig the Long Ball" - probably the best of all time. I actually forgot how funny this was until I looked it up.

That is pure awesome.

This is a lot funnier than I remember.

I loved this commercial too. But, IIRC, they made another "Chicks dig the longball" commercial where a bunch of pitchers started to catch on, and the one part that I distinctly remember from that one was Randy Johnson giving it a shot at the end.

It's a shame they flopped so badly at the olympics.


And yes, the golden era of SC commercials was nothing short of awesome.
