In 1999 Nike came out with a clever commercial featuring Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, Mark McGwire and Heather Locklear. Rather than pay attention to the Cy Young award winning pitchers, Glavine and Maddux, Heather swooned over Mark McGuire and his ability to hit the ball over the fence. After a stringent work out regiment, Glavine and Maddux hit some out in batting practice and, for the first time, Heather Locklear noticed them, causing Maddux and Glavine to congratulate each other and say “Chicks dig the long ball.”
If the statement is true, then Heather Locklear would have gone completely gaga gaga over Frank “Hondo” Howard who, without the aid of performance enhancing drugs, could hit the ball a long, long way.
