The Blue Jays 2009 season campaign, developed by Toronto-based Publicis, includes print, radio and TV, including this spot which features Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen’s encounter with an overly enthusiastic fan at a drive-thru. With the tagline, ‘you belong at the game,’ the creative points out the best place for baseball super fans is a ballpark. Which isn’t a bad thing because you know what they will have there (if they behave)? Beer in sippy cups. That’s right. SIPPY CUPS. That’s a homerun if we’ve ever heard one.
