Pedroia defeats Goliath in new Dunkin' spot

American League MVP Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox enhances his performance with a turbo-shot-infused Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee in this spot by Hill, Holliday. The Biblical theme caught me off-guard. It's not like he plays for the Angels or the Padres. And given baseball's doping controversies, the idea of a batter ingesting anything to pump up his prowess seems risky. Maybe it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, or edgy. Still, it's great to see Mark McGwire getting some work as Goliath! I guess freakishly bulking up on steroids pays off after all.

I loved it. It's totally out of the box thinking and a really clever commercial. Go sox!

You make a great point David, with all the steroid controversy, it does seem risky to show Pedroia ingesting something to make him better.
