We are saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Uecker, a legendary ambassador for our game.

After a six-year playing career with the Braves, Cardinals and Phillies from 1962-67, Uecker spent more than half a century as “Voice of the Brewers” beginning in 1971.

Uecker’s self-deprecating humor endeared him to a national audience. He appeared in popular movies, commercials, talk shows, and even starred in his own TV sitcom. As a broadcaster, he worked national telecasts, All-Star Games, and the World Series. His dry style and wit belied a deep knowledge and passion for baseball, all of which made him one of the game’s finest broadcasters.

Uecker, a member of the 1964 World Series champion Cardinals, was the 2003 Ford C. Frick Award winner and a five-time Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year. He was 90 years old.

I listened to a couple of Marlin vs. Brewers games with Bob announcing. I did my work with the TV in the background and NEVER watched the tube. Bob’s play by play was so good, that I didn’t need a television…… just listened to him and “saw” the game in my mind’s eye. THAT is talent!

An amazing man. One of the greatest to ever call the game. He may be gone. But the joy he brought to us all will last a lifetime.

There are athletes who have done more for Wisconsin but only Giannis comes close to Ueck as a beloved figure.
