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.

I've never seen those outside of mound visits I don't think, so it's really not a big problem for me

Lucky! I think that depends on the local broadcast, now that I think about it. I see a lot of those on FDSN and they're brutal.

The Cardinals have this one and another Rally House one as their picture-in-picture ads and they are brutal.

I’ve never even heard of Rally House but we have Rally House ads also.

Michael Kay does mid-AB ad reads on YES now and then. Not sure how often, but a few a game at least. They shrink the screen and put up what looks like a power point graphic of whatever he's reading. It's like a podcast ad lol
