Sony’s Kevin Butler Calls Baseball MVP Talentless

This article is over 14 years old and may contain outdated information

Sony’s hilarious ad guru Kevin Butler is at it again, this time in a commercial for MLB 10: The Show. American League MVP? Who’s that?

My love for Sony ad spokesman Kevin Butler has been well documented by this point, so I don’t think there’s much point in me saying how awesome I think these commercials are – to the point where I’m actually writing news posts about commercials – but I’ll do it anyway: I think these commercials are awesome, and the Kevin Butler character is brilliant.

This time around, Butler – as VP of Sony’s Softball Team – is promoting Sony San Diego’s MLB ’10: The Show. The game’s cover promptly features Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer, the American League MVP, who is widely considered to be the best catcher in the game – and one of Major League Baseball’s top sluggers – since his debut in 2006. The only problem is that Butler doesn’t seem to know who Mauer is.

…or does he?

Please keep making these ads, Sony. I will be tremendously sad when you stop.
