PRINCETON, N.J. — With the Major League Baseball playoffs set to start, Church & Dwight Co. has begun airing television commercials for Arrid Extra Dry antiperspirant deodorant that feature New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera.

Reflecting the brand’s "keep cool in any situation" slogan, the TV spot shows the five-time World Champion relief pitcher on the field illustrating his grace under pressure demeanor.

The commercial, which premiered on the team’s YES Network cable channel, is slated to air a total of more than 650 times throughout September, October and November. During its run, the ad can be seen nationally on networks such as ESPN, TBS, Bravo, TNT, Cartoon Network’s "Adult Swim," Spike, FX, Nick at Nite, USA and TLC.
