One of the greatest baseball announcers of all time passed away today. Bob Uecker. The voice of the Milwaukee Brewers. Mr. Baseball. He was certainly the ‘soundtrack to summer’ growing up in Wisconsin. For Brewers fans like me, his calls are those of Brewers history and lore.
Brewers TV play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson recalls some fond moments with the Ueck. As B.A. shares, Uecker had a special place in the hearts of Wisconsinites. eAnd his loss is a painful one.
There was the world’s Bob Uecker and then, as you know…there was Wisconsin’s Bob Uecker…and that’s a different Bob Uecker…and it makes me sad thinking about it…it hurts…it hurts.
Here are some of the Bob’s most famous calls for the Crew.
And of course the best hall of fame speech of all time.
