- Originally aired Saturday, August 2, 1980. This commercial is for Miller Lite beer. The Miller Lite series was very popular at the time and featured many recently-retired athletes in humorous commercials.
In this spot, Frank and Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles are featured.
Long time Phillies fan here with a great love for those early 70's Baltimore Orioles teams. Absolutely loved these old Miller Lite commecials, the best!
from former Baltimore Oriole teammate Brooks Robinson (on Feb 7 2019): ''Today is a very sad day because I lost not only my teammate, but also a very dear friend. I loved Frank and got to know him so much better after we both retired. I spoke to him a few days ago and he sounded good. He wanted to be home. ... As a player, I put Frank in a class with Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Mickey Mantle. He was the best player I ever played with. When he came here in 1966, he put us over the top. He was a great man and he will be deeply missed.''
Both in a class by themselves.
Sad day today too. Brooks Robinson passed away Sept. 25, 2023 at age 86.
When I was a kid, Brooks was my idol. He and Johnny Unitas. A pretty good combination!
There's a great pic of Johnny Unitas and Brooks Robinson throwing out the first pitch at Memorial Stadium 🏟 Unitas, is throwing a football of course.
2 of the best that ever played
In 1970 i was 13 years old when they Took the World Series, Loved then, and in 2024 , Still love them today.
I thank God I grew up in Baltimore during the 60s and 70s with these men. Rip Frank
We have lost both Frank and Brooks now, RIP Teammates. thank you for many great childhood memories. could not wait to get my 1970 and 1971 Kellogg's 3D cards of both of these players when I was a kid.
The first MLB game I ever attended was at Tiger Stadium in Detroit on July 1, 1972: Orioles vs. Tigers. NBC Game of the Week. I got to see my favorite player up close: Brooks Robinson. it was one of the great thrills of my childhood.
God bless two of the greatest ball players of all time, the Robinson "twins", Frank and Brooks.
Two of the all-time greats cutting loose and having some fun. Thanks for all the on and off field memories even if you did beat my Reds in 1970.
What a great team Baltimore was, what great players and people. Bless their memories
How times have changed...
RIP Brooks, hopefully it's Miller Time up there and you guys are sharing a cold one. LETS GO O's!!!!
One of the best beer commercials of all time. You have to wonder how many Lite beers Frank had downed before that take.
Frank was known for throwing some down.
God rest your soul Brooks. A life well lived.
Hey I was the producer on this commercial. Crazy finding it here!
Was Frank supposed to laugh on his last line, or could he just not hold his amusement in check? Delightful commercial. ...Enjoy the cornfield, Frank.
It was one of my favorites. Well done!
Do you remember what bar was used to shoot this commercial?
Wouldn't Miller be the producer since a producer is someone who funds a project? To my knowledge commercials have directors and writters....I was under the impression that the company or companies funding a commercial would be the producer
@@scratchking3205 the advertising agency producer hires the director and production company and oversees the job from storyboard to air
Thanks to those two great players - Baltimore becomes the first city to win the World Series and the Super Bowl the same season. (1970).
And the first city or region(Baltimore)to ever win that prestigious double title in same year as well. RIP Brooks and Frank.
That was a great year in Baltimore sports- in 1971, the O's and Colts were the reigning champs and then the Bullets upset the Knicks in game 7 to win the Eastern Conference finals. Unfortunately, the Milwaukee Bucks with Kareem, The Big O and future Bullet Bob Dandridge ended the chance of a trifecta in the NBA Finals with a four game sweep of the Bullets.
The Birds won the W.S.. in 1970. The Colts won the 1971 S.B. - but the regular season was in 1970.

The Robinsons are reunited again. Rest In Peace Mr. Oriole from a Dodger fan🙏🙏🧡🧡🤝💙🤍
Thankful for this fun commecial, I need it right now. Difficult couple of days watching all the tributes to Brooks. RIP Brooks and Frank.
Brooks and Frank are reunited again, hopefully sharing a beer and cheering on Adley and Gunnar this postseason from some other plane.
Now they get to listen to Earl again.

@@michaelliszewski5776 Good one!
I haven't seen this since it first aired, Two iconic legends, Two of the very best to ever play the game, Thank you for this.
In New York, they name candy bars after ballplayers. In Baltimore, they name their children after ballplayers.
The human vacuum cleaner . Best 3rd sacker ever .
# 20 & # 5 will live on forever
What great players. Brooks was the greatest 3rd baseman ever. So many great Orioles teams in the 70's and 80's. I grew up in Milwaukee, and with the exception of the end of the 1982 season, the Orioles made a habit of coming into Milwaukee and SPANKING us...BUT GOOD!!
Two class acts there for sure.
lived right between d.c. and baltimore in those days... senators or orioles... gee, what a tough decision.
Frank and Brooks. Great stuff. Great friends. See ya, Frank.
R.I.P.: Frank and Brooks Robinson. Baltimore's Finest on the Diamond!
RIP Frank Robinson
I wrote a report on Brooks Robinson in 5th grade and got A on it.
Born too late to see them. I was 3 when Frank went to LA and wasn't too much into baseball until 1978.
Brookie's hair piece... oh my!
Brooks and Frank Robinson. Kings of baseball's kangaroo court! There are streets named after them in the Baltimore area!
"Can't you tell we wear different uniform numbers!"
RIP Frank Robinson.
Happy birthday Brooks!
ha ha ha got to love the robinsons :P
R.I.P. Frank :(
Robby
I was an Orioles FAN until they let Frank Robinson leave the TEAM!
I GOT mad 😠 & exclaimed: "WHY YOU SOBs! HOW dare YOU split up the Robinson Brothers? (NOT knowing ANY BETTER AT THE TIME!) FTS ! I'm moving up the coast & Cheering for the RED SOX"!
STILL a RED SOX ⚾ FAN since 1972 (Carlton Fisk's rookie YEAR).
Let’s get this straight…
You jumped ship on your team, despite them making the World Series 4 times in the last 6 years and winning 2 of them. You did this because they dared to trade away a 36 year old player who would spend the rest of their career battling injuries and being a shadow of their former self.
And you took your “loyalty” (if you can call it that) to Boston. A team that would make the playoffs once in the next 14 years and wouldn’t win a World Series like the 2 that Baltimore gave you for another 32 years.
And you seem to think this isn’t something you should be extremely embarrassed of.
Yeah…if I were Baltimore, I’d be happy to see you go.
I suppose it was this same logic that made you capitalize words like “fan” and “team” and “year” seemingly randomly? Is there a logical reason for doing that?
Actually they were both 6'1" according to their baseball-reference stats.
There is a word used to describe a comparatively unimportant reason for saying or doing something, but I don't know what it is.
"Innocuous" perhaps?
Superfluous
Trivial
I'm at least an inch taller than him!
...I ran into Frank Robinson, Boom Boom Geoffrion & Billy Martin at Hartsfield Airport in Hotlanta in Feb 1982 while I was waiting for my flight to Ft Lauderdale - I had 5 hours to kill so I rode around on the various people mover shuttle trains to kill time (engaging in 'chronocide')...all three were in the same car...Frank was leaning against one wall, holding a garment bag wile Boom Boom was trying to goad Billy who was trying to ignore him...Frank was the perfect gentleman....ignoring Boom Boom as well...this was shortly after Billy had gotten into trouble with George Steinbrenner over the 'marshmallow salesman' incident...I got bold and asked Billy for his autograph which he kindly gave me - on the cover of a 'Modern Photography magazine (which I've since lost)....shortly after that the shuttle pulled into its stop and Boom Boom gave up (his audience disappeared also) and all three left for wherever it was they were going...which I suspected was another Lite Beer from Miller commercial
Brooks Robinson writes left-handed but no bats and throws left-handed.
frank accused andy etchebarren of taking ugly pills
Try that commercial today and BLM/woke would riot!
Probably not, but enjoy your hyperbole!
