Baseball stars have a huge fan following around the globe. TV commercials play an important part in shaping the brand image of MLB players. Since the turn of the century, the popularity of commercials has increased considerably.

As we prepare ourselves for the 2022 baseball All-Star Game, let's look at some lighthearted TV commercials featuring our favorite baseball players. Here are some of the best baseball television advertisements of all time that are hilarious.

#1 Ronald Acuna Jr. in a Snickers advertisement

Known for his power hitting, the Atlanta Braves outfielder recently made an appearance in a Snickers commercial. Fans are in awe of his easy acting, just as they are with his batting.

The video, uploaded recently by Acuna on Twitter, has been making the rounds online. Being a kind man, Acuna autographed the receiving letter when the delivery man asked him to.

Anything for a fan…right? Maybe I just needed a SNICKERS. @SNICKERS #snickerssatisfies #ad

Acuna is a star player for the Atlanta Braves and recently announced he will participate in the Home Run Derby.

#2 Fernando Rodney’s arrow celebration in Mariners’ ad

The Seattle Mariners are known for making the funniest commercials in the sport.

Fernando Rodney, Philadelphia Phillies v Washington Nationals

The Seattle Mariners used Fernando Rodney’s signature bow and arrow celebration in one of their ads. In the ad, Rodney fires one of his victory arrows, and teammates discuss where, if anywhere, it is headed.

#3 Bo Jackson in Nike’s ad

The advertisement that portrayed Bo Jackson as a genuine multi-sport athlete was too good to ignore. Though, Bo may not know Diddley and the advertisement wasn't only about America's favorite pastime. Is there anything funnier in the commercial than Wayne Gretsky just answering, "No," to the question of Bo understanding hockey?

#4 Mike Schmidt in a Chevrolet ad

A vintage ad featuring MLB star Mike Schmidt illustrates the high caliber of the new Chevrolet car by bashing the grill with a baseball bat. Well, if this didn’t leave you in splits, then what will?

#5 1990's Nike commercial

Do you remember the iconic line, "Chicks dig the long ball," in a Nike commercial? It has become one of the most famous '90s commercial of the baseball era. Tom Glavin and Greg Maddux were featured in the ad, and Fred McGriff's guest spot is forever cherished among Atlanta Braves fans.

These commercials have a different fan bases. They’ve always given MLB fans a moment of laughter in between the big games.
