Wednesday’s ad is for Miller Lite, from 1982. Given Matt Cain’s amazing perfect game earlier tonight for the Giants, I thought a baseball ad would be appropriate. In this case, it’s “Mr. Baseball” Bob Uecker and his self-deprecating humor. Still, it’s pretty funny. “Great ballplayers drink Lite because it’s less filling. I know. I asked one.”
All I know is that I was in Houston’s in Chicago in 1998 while on a business trip & having dinner @ the bar – in walks Scottie Pippen & a buddy – they order Miller Lites & were smoking fat stogies. I got his autograph on the back of a bar chit (but only after someone else had gotten one first) – I framed it.
