Baseball in Canada. It’s not necessarily a match made in heaven, but a minor league baseball team in Vancouver is trying to win over some fans.
And to do that, they’re mimicking one of the best baseball movies ever made.
The Vancouver Canadians, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, have released a new commercial with the hopes of attracting some more fans in a city known for its hockey. To do so, the Canadians have turned to Major League.
In the commercial, the Canadians spoof the scene from Major League where the Indians are featured in an American Express commercial.
“Just because we don’t eat, drink and breath hockey, nobody recognizes us. Even in our hometown,” says one of the players.
