Two of college softball’s biggest stars over the last few years have taken their games to the professional level with the Oklahoma City Spark. [autotag]Jayda Coleman[/autotag] and [autotag]Kinzie Hansen[/autotag] will continue to ply their craft in the Softball Capitol of the World.
Over their careers at Oklahoma, Coleman and Hansen became known for clutch performances in the field, earning Gold Gloves and Defensive Player of the Year awards. But even more important was their work at the plate as both came through in clutch situations time after time during the Sooners’ historic four-straight national championships.
And the former Sooners stars and two of the best ambassadors of the sport starred in a new commercial for Rawlings softball.
Some have said “best advertisement in America” 🤷♀️

The commercial is a fun tribute to the McDonald’s classic featuring Larry Bird and Michael Jordan in a game of HORSE. Instead of playing for a Big Mac, Hansen and Coleman have a home run-hitting contest for Rawlings’ new “Mantra” bat.
The two go back and forth, even attempting to switch hit, with relative success.
As softball continues to grow, this is just another step in the right direction by using two of the sport’s biggest stars to be ambassadors for one of the biggest brands in diamond sports.
