The Drubbing

While most people either took a night off from sports, or watched the Home Run Derby on mute (Berman, Morgan, McCarver, Buck…yikes a quad of annoyance).  I DVR’ed the derby and strolled down a few blocks from my Chicago condo to see a new Gatorade commercial.  It was actually pretty cool.  The setting is an old run down basketball court underneath the El tracks (that is the elevated train tracks to you non-Chicago-ans).  There were about a thousand Gatorade bottles arranged to display Michael Jordan doing his split legged dunk.  They used different flavored bottles to project a different color.  When a train passed from overhead, the producers got the crowd clapping and cheering, as the crew that assembled the picture jumped up and down and congratulated each other.

See the attached pictures below which i captured with my iPhone.  They lit up the lights when the train passed by, which really made the outline of MJ pop out:
