Forget about Clydesdales on snowy paths or croaking frogs, the best ad campaigns ever connected to a beer were those cooked up by the McCann-Erickson agency for Miller Lite in the nineteen-seventies and -eighties. As a Wisconsinite, I was especially fond of any spot that included Bob Uecker, the radio broadcaster for our home state MLB squad. And none was better than the entry that opened with Mr. Baseball making his way to a seat at the old ballpark. It’s a perfect comic gem in thirty seconds, and Uecker’s take on “I must be in the front row” is nothing less than one of very best line deliveries across the entire history of television commercials.
