Some of you have probably seen the new Adidas commerical with Phillies first basemen Ryan Howard where he shows up at a teams practice and gives them some new baseball equipment and hits a few long balls.  If you have haven’t been able to see the video, we have posted it for you here at PhilliesHomePlate.

A represenative from Adidas emailed me the other day and informed me that the commercial was indeed real, and the kids and coaches had no idea that Howard was showing up at practice. Talk about a big suprise for everyone on the team!

Not only as Howard teamed up with Adidas for his own line of equipment, but he has also joined up with Dicks Sports Goods where you can buy the Adidas and Ryan Howard equipment. If you or your kids are looking for new equipment for the upcoming baseball season, we recommend Dicks Sporting Good and Adidas!
