MLB Marketing Departments
Jeff gives his support to the Mariners marketing department, and gives a long list of reasons.
One thing that intrigued me was when he said that the Mariners were the first to start with the comedic promo videos back in 1994. But I have a vague memory of Tim Raines being in a Whitesox comedy promo video, and for some reason, I thought it was somewhere around 1993-1994.
Similarly, hockey commercials were always filled with comedic bits. This one was from the mid to late 1990s, but it was an American (dressed in a cowboy hat), who comes up to Canadians, and how he gives his idea of putting red and blue streaks on pucks (FoxTrax). The commercial ends with the American being thrown out, trailed by streaks of blue and red.? But this was par for the course, so I presume comedic commercials featuring hockey must have some bit of history before then.
Anyway, I don't dispute Jeff's recollection, but I do LOVE anything to do with the comedic elements in promo videos. (Go Youtube NHL Swedish Twins, to see how the NHL remains on the cutting edge.)
