I
just went on the MLB website to check for any breaking news, say the
commissioner taking the White Sox away from Jerry Reinsdorf or the Cubs being
barred from postseason play, but no luck.
There was an interesting Coldwell Banker ad, though.
It
shows a father and daughter playing catch in front of their house with a
12-inch softball. That’s OK, but
somebody tell me why are there two baseballs in the grass? And since when has MLB cared about girls and
women as athletes or coaches or front-office personnel with real power?
Next
time, maybe they could do an ad that’s a little more realistic. The girl could be raking leaves or mowing the
lawn so her father has the time to play catch with her brother, and there
wouldn’t be a softball in sight. Now,
that’d what I call an effective ad, if not intentionally so.
