March 24, 201115 yr Did anyone catch that new Sox commercial yet? Without spoiling it, it started as a commercial in the produce section of a supermarket, someone spills a carton of oranges, then suddenly it becomes a Sox commercial with a cameo appearance from Hawk and Buehrle. It was a freaking awesome commercial!!! XD

March 24, 201115 yr Not to spoil your fruit section but that came out like 6 weeks ago. I just saw the AJ commercial for the first time today; I think it's even better. And might I just add that I think the Sox advertising has been near tops amongst all advertising (up there with the US Army, though I'm obviously biased given that I am the targeted audience). That being said, every commercial keeps getting better (except for the Cabrera commercial, not a fan at all). If you haven't seen it already, check out the AJ commercial here on whitesox.com
March 24, 201115 yr The Pierzynski commercial is very, very good. AJ definitely holds his own in front of a camera and Sale's quiet "AJ!?!" as Pierz walks away is excellent. The Buehrle/Hawk commercial: meh.
March 24, 201115 yr Welcome to January! lol. Where is this AJ one? I haven't seen it. EDIT: Seriously. I've googled this and looked for it on the Sox website. Can't find it. Edited March 24, 201115 yr by JoeCoolMan24

March 24, 201115 yr The whole tearing off the jersey to reveal another jersey is pretty awesome as well.

March 24, 201115 yr All of those little things totally fit AJ too, which is what really makes it excellent.
March 24, 201115 yr That's weird, I can watch the MB/Hawk one, but when I try to play the AJ one, it doesn't load.

March 24, 201115 yr I've got to admit I found it pretty funny that there was a Google Chrome ad that played before the site allowed me to watch the White Sox ad. An ad for an ad.

He's great in front of the camera (clearly a lot of the acting from wrestling has paid off). That commercial rocks.

March 24, 201115 yr Love that everyone is ripping off the Old Spice commercials now. I think i've seen 10 different companies using that style.

March 24, 201115 yr The Pierzynski commercial is very, very good. AJ definitely holds his own in front of a camera and Sale's quiet "AJ!?!" as Pierz walks away is excellent. The Buehrle/Hawk commercial: meh. I feel the exact opposite. I didn't even so much as crack a half-smile at AJ's commercial.
March 25, 201115 yr I finally saw these 2 commercials last night. The AJ one is great but I think the one last year titled "Lefty" was even better. Especially the last few seconds when Buehrle walks past. "We need to draft more righties."

March 25, 201115 yr Has Konerko starred in a commercial since his one is like 2004 with Zito for ESPN? The only other one I can think of was back quite a few years ago where he was on like a bus or a train, and the devil and an angel appeared. 2003 maybe?
