One of the most entertaining guys in sports. The voice of the Milwaukee Brewers for 50 years, classic beer commercials ("Must be in the front row"), and the funniest bits in the film Major League. "Get up, get outta here, gone!

Known for being the catcher of knuckleballers, Phil Neikro and Hoyt Wilhelm. Bob Uecker was once asked, "What's the best way to catch a knuckler?"
... Bob answered: "Wait for it to stop rolling to the backstop and go pick it up." smiling bouncing smiley

Grew up in Milwaukee. As a youngster in 1971 hearing Merle Harmon and Bob Uecker on the transistor everyday was a comforting thing during my youth. The early 70's Brewers were awful with a capital A. But, Uecker made it worth your time to tune in.

Milwaukee mourns.

The Rodney Dangerfield of baseball. A favorite guest of Carson. Many videos available. All funny. He had a perfect deadpan delivery.
