Sports fans do love a stat, so when SAXX challenged Quality Meats to do something around the baseball playoffs, only one solution seemed clear: The Ballgorithm.

Using the mathematical powers of well-known baseball statistician, Eno Sarris, the agency created an absurd stat that's focused all around balls, since, much like men's human balls,  they're a neglected part of the pastime (pitchers don't want to throw them, hitters don't want to hit them, fans don't want to see them).

Backing up the deliciously silly concept is a similarly farcical spot, directed by Brad Morris through Invisible Collective, in which one of the greatest catchers of all time, Ivan 'Pudge' Rodriguez, does his level best to apply some expert punditry to the testicular trivia.
