Home Run Derby

So back on June 3, the New York Mets announced the “15 Seconds of Met Fame” Contest in which fans could submit a 15-second video which would be used as 15-second Mets television spot using the slogan …

“The 2007 Mets. Your Season Has Come.”

The contest comes to its culmination tomorrow (July 24th), when the winning videos will debut on SNY when the Mets host the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Winners get tickets to a Mets Home Game and get introduced on the field. 

Naturally, some of these videos showed up on YouTube before the Mets will get a chance to show them. 

And here they are … with commentary.

Kids always win these things

This has a real shot of winning.  Because baseball executives think baseball fans love kids who love baseball. 

Some guy with a camcorder

I want to see the footage of the ushers and security guards who told this guy that Video Cameras aren’t allowed in Shea.

If you can type it …

Poor idea, poor execution, poor gag.  But I still like it.

Space Station

This is going to get picked and is the best looking entry of all the ones I could find.  But the ball should have hit an airplane taking off or landing at LaGuardia Airport.

The Mets are On?

This one has crappy editing, worse acting, a terrible script, and no hot chicks.  But it’s my favorite one.  Why?
