marlinfan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wild Thing is wearing two different uniforms in the commercial....how is this so?One second he has on a uni with the vertical stripes and the next he's wearing the horizontal stripes on the sleeves. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The scenes where he's talking were performed in front of a green screen. The action scenes were from the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's simple how it is so...poor editing to the movie and ad creation. They edited Sheen (circa 2006-7) into the movie scenes, shot in 1989. Hence why he threw past a left handed batter (1989), cuts away to himself to talk about DirectTV (2006-07), then hits a right handed batter without knowledge of a walk issued (1989).Even those who do not visit this site but know the movie will be aware of this. May need to be moved to "Sports In General" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinfan Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 I was hoping someone would pick up the e-sarcasm. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Actually the guy he beans is the next guy up. Uni number is different. But I have to admit I was oblivious to the jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Better than the DirecTV ad on the radio, where Joe Buck calls himself "the velvety-smooth voice of baseball." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 There could have been someone with 9 posts who may have said the same initial comments. Plus, they would have been born in 1992, and never seen, "Major League". Sorry kids, but we have seen similar comments recently. As we have seen, sarcasm is not seen over the net, nor should it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'll admit I didn't really notice anything, but then again I was just giddy to see Rick Vaughn in primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boardname Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Didn't notice the different jerseys, but the tattoo on his arm that he never had in the movie drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRice16 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The scene that they used for his closeups with him superimposed over actual video was from Major League. The action footage is from Major League II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRice16 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 no the action footage is from the first one.I'm pretty sure they wore the jerseys with the sleeve stripes in the first one. I'll look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Never mind, the gray road jerseys in the first movie had the stripes, but not the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
