Chase Utley jokes about his Baseball Hall of Fame non-inclusion in Four Walls whiskey ad

Chase Utley has plenty of time to gather the necessary votes for inclusion in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In the meantime, the former Phillies and Dodgers star can laugh about falling short in his first year of eligibility. Utley stars in the spot above for Four Walls whiskey—a brand in which he’s also an investor—and makes a sly reference to his Hall of Fame plight. He also gets bleeped out at the end, in a reference to his infamous curse at the 2008 World Series parade. The spot, created by More Better Industries in collaboration with the Four Walls in-house team, ran on the jumbotron at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Monday night—and seemed to go over well. (The ad also announces that Four Walls and ginger, aka “The Man,” can now be ordered at the ballpark.)
