MasterCard expanded its Priceless Surprises advertising series with two news ads. This first one debuted during Game 1 of the World Series:
That baseball legend is George Brett, an all time great and one loyal guy. He’s been working for the Kansas City Royals all of his adult life (since 1971).
The second spot debuted last night, during Game 2, and features Mariano Rivera, a legend in his own right:
Interesting that MasterCard included Tommy Lasorda in the ad’s title (thanks to Kip Beatty for pointing that out in comments). I wonder if he was originally slated to be in this spot or, perhaps, if we’ll see Tommy (who just turned 87!!!) in a Game 3 ad.
Not for nothing, but I’ll be damned if I can find Tommy Lasorda in the second spot. And let’s be real, he’s not easy to miss.
You are totally right. Fixed. Thanks. Really puzzling that they included Lasorda in the name of the spot. Wonder if they intended to include him and something went wrong or if he’ll be in the Game 3 spot.
What’s odd is there is a scene in the commercial with Dodgers fans at Dodger stadium reacting to someone. Clearly it was Lasorda but he was edited out of his own spot.
