He said Game 4, not 3. And that ones better too
August 15, 200521 yr Author Thanks for the correction, and it is an awesome commercial. But I am going to have to say I like the wheeties better. That was one of the most memorable moments in baseball history, in fact it might be 2nd only to Babe Ruths called shot, and not many were alive to see that, espicially members of this board. Anyhow, it's just like watching Gibson, except it's a fat middle aged guy playing slow pitch softball, and I think the people who made the commercial did an awesome job...hobbling up to the plate on damaged knees, the fist pump round 2nd...just an awesome sight. Although the Damon commercial is funnier.

Anyone could point into the seats in right field and just might get a fastball grooved right down the middle and smoke it out, and get lucky..
