I’m filling in for Sanford on today’s FanPost Friday while he’s out buying his wife a Lexus during the December to Remember Sales Event or something. Speaking of commercials, Corey Brock reports for The Athletic that the Mariners ads are not coming back. As if we haven’t gotten enough bad news this offseason. When the ads went away in 2020, I’d assumed that was Covid-related, but it turns out that the founders of Copacino Fujikado, the company that made the ads, retired later that year. The ads haven’t been back since.
This comes as sad news to many of us, as the Mariners ads were the one place where Seattle towered over the rest of MLB.
