This Nike commercial was created as part of an ad campaign during the 1994 baseball strike. It features a lone fan on "Day 8" of the strike, standing alone in a deserted baseball stadium. To entertain himself, he starts hurling insults at a groundskeeper who is watering the grass in the outfield.
"Play ball. Please. Nike."
