Video: Mets vs. Yankees in Stickball

Back in the late 1990s, Nike put out a series of commercials featuring members of the Mets and Yankees playing stickball on the streets of New York. Watch as John Franco, John Olerud (wearing his trademark helmet for stickball), Robin Ventura, Rey Ordonez and Masato Yoshii (I think!) argue about bases and try to get a ball unstuck from a fence. Oh, and Tom Seaver and Keith Hernandez sitting on a stoop, watching. There are some stupid Yankees as well.
