MLB the Show has been helping us fans get through the off-season the past couple years, thanks to the work they put into their fantastic video games. It would appear their advertisers have joined in, because the most recent commercial for the 2011 game plucks at the heart strings.

Seriously. If you’re a true baseball fan, try to watch this commercial without your heart racing.

The music. The view of the field. The setting sun. The fan reactions. And most of all, the narration. Playstation 3 flat out nailed this commercial– and no, they’re not paying me to say that (if you’re reading this and you work for Playstation 3, please pay me to say that).

The Mets play in New York City, where every day brilliant actors, directors, writers and producers roam the streets, out of work. And yet, the following video is the product of the team’s attempt to sell tickets. Yes, it looks like a commercial for the AAA Toledo Mud-Hens, but inexplicably, this truly is an ad for The New York Mets.

Sit back, and try not to laugh:

Wow.
Starring: GM Sandy Alderson
Directed by: Keith Hernandez

Ever wonder if Ozzie Guillen could make it as an actor? Or better yet, ever wonder what joy might be found in an Ozzie Guillen outtake reel? WONDER NO MORE! Here are a series of flubbed lines from the recently filmed White Sox holiday promotion.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Ozzie Claus

It’s safe to say, if baseball had not stood in the way of his acting career, nobody would know the name Antonio Banderas.

Talking about when pitchers were hitters reminds me of this Nike commercial featuring Atlanta Braves Cy Young Award winners Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux.
