Watch a 1969 Nestle Commercial Starring the Washington Senators’ Frank Howard
By Jamie Mottram | April 5, 2011
All I know about the late-’60s Senators is that their slugging first baseman Frank Howard was a big son of a bitch who used to hit them way up to my dad and his dad in the leftfield seats. That and he loved his Nestle’s Quik, apparently (via Nats320):
Hondo went on to hit a career-high 48 homers that season, and the Senators won 86 games for first-year skipper Ted Williams. It was their first winning season since 1952, and Washington’s last one since.

Don Draper thinks that commercial is lazy.

It’s not Frank Howard, but here’s a guy who hit a popped champagne cork with a baseball bat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MmsUEOHODw&feature=player_embedded. It inspired this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k6Lop-3DWo&feature=player_embedded. There’s another opportunity to inspire a commercial this year at SportClipsMVP.com until April 9.
