You know how you know you’ve made it, especially in a blue collar town like Pittsburgh? When MLB puts together a commercial starring you and your signature hair style.

Congratulations to the 2013 NL MVP – you’re finally making baseball relevant in a city dominated by football and hockey over the last 20 years.
