\"\"<\/a>Part 4 of my series is dedicated to the Seattle Mariners<\/a>. Technically, it should really be dedicated to one of the toughest looking players in baseball history, Jay Buhner<\/a>. Many years ago I saw a Mariners\u2019 commercial that featured Jay Buhner, using his shiny, bald head to reflect sunlight into the opposing hitter\u2019s eyes. I know, genius.<\/p>\n

Since then, I have been unable to find it despite my best efforts combing the intraweb and plugging keywords like: \u201cbald guy,\u201d and \u201csweet jesus look at that bald guy!\u201d into every major search engine. Luckily, much like that Buhner commercial, the Mariners have made plenty of other classic commercials, many starring some of the better players of the past 2 decades.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

*Seriously, can someone find me the Buhner commercial that I mentioned?<\/p>\n
