The ad features Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton and \u201cSir\u201d Didi Gregorius and his double play partner Gleyber Torres. They also have Ken Singleton, Michael Kay, John Flaherty, David Cone and Paul O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n<p>This commercial is very tactfully and tastefully put together. Just when you think you have seen it all, in pops the great Academy Award nominated actor Chazz Palminteri. Chazz just gives the commercial that true Hollywood feeling. Charlie Santoro, a sales specialist at YES and a part time actor who plays Chazz\u2019s assistant barber in the commercial, said that having Chazz in this role\u00a0made every one bring their \u201cA game\u201d to the set.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-860\" src=\"http:\/\/theraynegronstory.com\/columns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/03-26-Chazz-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraynegronstory.com\/columns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/03-26-Chazz-2.png 360w, https:\/\/theraynegronstory.com\/columns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/03-26-Chazz-2-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was told that Chazz was very generous in helping all the people on this job.<\/p>\n<p>When I spoke to Chazz about doing this commercial he responded by saying that it was truly a lot of fun. One actor said that when you have a Chazz Palminteri on the set, it\u2019s like the equivalent of a young player being on the field with Mickey Mantle.<\/p>\n<p>I personally have spent as much time in the world of entertainment as I have in the sports world.
