The Milwaukee Brewers said “Ueck” celebrates the life and legacy of “Mr. Baseball,” featuring interviews with his family and loved ones from baseball and the entertainment industry.
“From the very beginning, this project was about honoring Bob Uecker with the care, respect and gratitude he deserves,” said Barry Poltermann, producer and co-founder of September Club, the Milwaukee-based production company behind “Ueck.”
Fans will get an exclusive first look at the end of the 1:10 p.m. game against the White Sox on March 26. It’ll feature a 20-minute segment from the film that’s been two years in the making.
“Bob’s story is so deeply woven into the fabric of Milwaukee, the Brewers and this ballpark. To share the first public glimpse of the film at American Family Field on Opening Day, surrounded by Brewers fans, is meaningful for everyone who worked on it. We’re humbled by the trust placed in us to help tell his incredible story,” continued Poltermann.
The documentary will be released in theaters in the summer, and more details will be announced later.
