Look who's shillin' for the Air Force (1974)

In 1974, future baseball Hall of Famer Dick Williams was out of work, having resigned from the Oakland Athletics after two World Series titles. Then-owner Charles O. Finley refused to release Williams from his contract until he negotiated a deal with then-Angels owner Gene Autry in mid-season.

However, Williams would not sit idle. In what was probably his only commercial endorsement deal, Williams did this spot for the Air Force. Don't know who the actor is playing Superman, but his profile didn't exactly look super.....
