You know that dream you have after eating too many corn dogs at the ballpark—the one where animal puppets play banjos, washboards and jugs as they sing the praises of the Minnesota Lottery with ex-professional baseball players? C'mon, it can't be just me. Former Twins greats Bert Blyleven (above) and Kent Hrbek warble along with skunks, woodchucks, gophers, squirrels, deer and other assorted wildlife in these likably looney spots from ad agency Olson. There's a pie-thieving bear in the spot with Hrbek, who looks pretty ursine himself—and full of pie—these days.
