One of the greatest baseball announcers of all time passed away today. Bob Uecker. The Voice of the Milwaukee Brewers. Mr. Baseball. That was definitely the ‘soundtrack to summer’ growing up in Wisconsin. For Brewers fans like me, his calls are related to Brewers history and lore.
Brewers TV play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson recalls some memorable moments with UAC. As BA reported, Uecker had a special place in the hearts of Wisconsinites. eAnd their loss is tragic.
There was the Bob Uecker of the world and then, as you know… there was the Bob Uecker of Wisconsin… and he’s a different Bob Uecker… and thinking about it makes me sad… sad. .. feel sad.
Here are some of Bob’s most famous calls to the crew.
And undoubtedly the best Hall of Fame speech ever.
