IICHIKO VODKA - TELEVISION COMMERCIAL SHOOT

iichiko

On August 22, 2006, Boston Men's Baseball League players participated in filming a television commercial for the Japanese vodka iichiko.

Dressed in period uniforms (the actual uniforms used in Field of Dreams) and using period gloves and bats, the "actors" were shot fielding their positions, pitching and batting. The shoot took place in Hudson, MA.

After the shoot, a small taste test was enjoyed by all. The commercial was first broadcast in the Fall, but only in Japan. Watch the commercial.


Back: Glenn Watson, Russ Ward, John Collins, Bill Carlezon, Mike Sawyer, Mark Moise, Matt Englander; Front: Steve Wolf, Brian Spadafino.
