MLB remembers legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker 💙
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.
