Former Brewers star Willy Adames reacts to Bob Uecker’s death: ‘He was just an angel on earth’

Willy Adames said it was “definitely tough,” to hear about the death of Milwaukee Brewers beloved radio announcer Bob Uecker.

Adames spent four seasons with the Brewers before signing a seven-year, $182 million free-agent contract with the San Francisco Giants on Dec. 10. He shared his feelings about Uecker during spring training.

“It was obviously an emotional time,” Adames said. “My dad cried when he found out that he passed away. It was hard for us, because he was the energy, the spirit in Milwaukee. I only played there for four years but it felt like I played there for 15 years, and the way he made everybody feel was obviously something special.”
