Pepsi Max - Major League Baseball - "Clubhouse In The Corn" (2011) :60 (USA)

These ads only ran during MLB games, so it is full of baseball fans' in-jokes and knowledge about each player and targeted at them. Since I don't know a lick about baseball, I don't really know who each person is, but I appreciate the many layers of subtle nods about players from both past and present.

Though, it's not the first time that Pepsi retooled the "field of dreams" idea, as that happened in the darkly humorous ad of Superbowl in 1995, also shot by Joe Pytka. I mean, I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it, aye?
