speaking of ad campaigns. The A's have great ad's. THe two I recall this year are:
1) Before opening day they ran a commerical with Macha, and he was asked who should be the opening day starter. Well each pitcher hudson, zito, mulder started bribing him with money, tickets, and then a hummer. Hudson, who gave him a hummer, THE VEHICLE, at least I think it was him, won the starting job.
2) There new shortstop is covered in white balls and a black jump suit, like player where when developing actions for a video game. Anyway they show Crosby making great plays, and one of the players pass a camera with others watching Crosby making the plays saying the "old your going to be in a video game trick." It was funny.
Sorry for the thread jack. Just thought I would say this is great marketing. In fact since I moved out here I would say Oakland has some of the best Ad campaigns. Even so still no one goes to the park
