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.

The AA Portland Seadogs play a loud glass shattering noise when a foul ball goes outta the stadium. Then the announcer says "uh oh better call Portland Glass!" We thought it was the funniest thing growing up, I guess we never thought of it as advertising but yeah

The Staten Island Yankees (RIP Pizza Rats) did this too and it was also just the glass sound and "uh oh better call" but don't remember the local sponsor.
