Former New York Yankees manager Billy Martin is the one in the yellow floppy hat. He died three years later in a car accident.

Greatest ad campaign of all time. Don't know what Miller Lite was thinking when they abandoned it for all of the lame ad campaigns that followed!

Mickey Spillane and Bubba Smith are two of the other celebrities in the ad.
And I kinda like the "Man Laws" ad campaign for Miller Lite, but yes, this is better.

Let's not forget ex-NFL players L.C. Greenwood (The can crusher in one Miller Lite commerical),and Bert Jones (who tried to do what L.C. did in another commerical).And ex-New York Met "Marvelious" Marv Throneberry (who said,"This 'Open' otta be closed!).

Do you all remember Billy Martin's commercial with Yankees owner George Stienbrenner?That too was a classic.

Ben Davidson was the big burly bearded guy saying "This calls for another Lite Beer from Miller".

Steve Mizerak was the guy hitting the golf ball like he was shooting pool (he did the "you can work up a thirst even when you're just showing off" commercial where he sank a really tricky pool shot).

And who could forget "the Doll", Lee Meredith?

Billy Martin had two other memorable Miller Lite commercial moments: one in the "Group Photo" ad where he was giving someone bunny ears ("knock it off Billy, you NEED this job!") and the one with rodeo cowboy Jim Shoulders where he talks about how Lite quenches his thirst after a day of rounding up dogies and Billy responds "I didn't punch that doggie!"

I think that was Bob Uecker trying to hit the ball out from UNDER the water hazard.

As of late, I think Richard Blade is still on First Wave, only it's now on Sirius/XM Channel 33.

Somebody should have told these guys the real reason why Cronkite was called "Ol' Iron Pants." :-)

Or as the Trib's Gary Deeb called her, "Terry 'Disco' Murphy", for the kind of stories she usually reported on...

I bought my first Zenith about that time - but I went for the 25" model (just over $600.00, or about $100.00 less than what my first VCR cost a year before).

I thought she looked and sounded a bit like Andrea Martin - or her prettier sister (no, not Edna Boil).

Geez. Try to teach a kid math with that today and his reaction would probably be @o.oo

I hope I'm this happy in about 8 hours when I clean my apartment....
