Who the Heck Thought of Dane Cook for Postseason Ads? 

Post#1 » by Da Schwab » Sun Aug 5, 2007 5:05 pm

This is a bit off-topic, but what idiot in the MLB PR department thought of Dane Cook when they were pitching an October postseason commercial campaign?


Couldn't they have gotten a celebrity that actually cares about the sport? Maybe Billy Crystal, Ben Affleck, heck even Rudy Guliani (It would help boost his numbers).


I'm sorry but, Dane Cook!?


WTF Major League Basball!

I'm all for a "throw fastballs at Dane Cook for a million dollars" promotion during the playoffs.

I'll even let the pros compete.

Its not that he's a Red Sox fan, its just that he's not the kind of guy you picture when you talk about playoff baseball.


BTW, I second HC's proposition.

Yeah I was just about to say...

Dane Cook does care about the sport...he's a big sox fan.

But you're right....he obviously doesn't know anything about baseball because he wasn't in "fever pitch"
"The guy is an idiot," Pedroia said regarding Cabrera. "I dropped my bat. It kind of freaked me out. I was upset they took him out of the game. He is good to hit. He's 9-15. The guy [stinks]."

I hate Dane Cook, but I don't mind the ads at all
