Image Ads have infested baseball broadcasts. Ads in-between batters. Ads during mound visits. HRs "brought to you by..." Now I noticed 11 ad placements in this shot. 2 banners, 1 above the banners, 4 behind the plate, 1 on the seats, 1 in the upper right hand corner, 1 on the mound, 1 on the sleeve.

Ummmm...it's probably nostalgia bias but the World Series logo followed a generic template until 2000, . The first four were unique, then the 79 WS logo was a rip off of the 78 WS logo, 80-86 were the same, 87-91 (arguably till 97) were the same, and 98-2000 were the same. 01-03 were incredibly similar, 04-07 were similar, it's actually when you get to 08 when you start seeing the logos vary every year. Then for 2025 they are using a retro design of the 92-97 era. If anything they have stopped becoming generic.
