Baseball legend in Dunlop commercial

Sumitomo Rubber Industries has introduced a new commercial featuring Japanese baseball player Shohei Ohtani alongside one of the sport's legends, Babe Ruth, whose image was created with the help of an actor and computer graphics. 

The new commercial was created in collaboration with the Babe Ruth Foundation, with the actor being searched for across the United States, and the voice being created using audio recordings of the real Ruth, who passed away in 1948. The filming took place in Los Angeles, and the commercial is available on YouTube. 

"Ohtani continues to exceed fan expectations, masterfully pitching and batting, and the commercial is dedicated to our new product, Dunlop Synchro Weather, which will also exceed expectations due to its ability to synchronize with conditions and work efficiently in both summer and winter," says Sumitomo.

We have previously reported on the new Dunlop tires, which are expected to revolutionize the all-season tire market.
