MLB: Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker Passes Away at 90
- Thread starter SaraV
- Start date
When lived in Scottsdale he used to hang out at Don and Charlies Steak House. It was a huge sports place with the craziest collection of sports stuff I have ever seen. He would pull up on his Harley Davidson. Always said hi to everyone and everyone that spoke with him had nothing but great things to say about him. He would say hi to me every time I saw him. Hopefully they burry him in the last row of the cemetary.
"One hit.. That's all we got? One goddam hit?"
These were some of the greatest TV commercials of all time...
There's a nice early John Goodman sighting in the second one.

Vin Scully and Uecker were also the best at telling baseball stories during the broadcast.
Made broadcasts even more enjoyable.
It's a lost art

“I remember batting with the bases loaded, down by one run, in the bottom of the 9th. I looked over at the dugout, and everyone was in street clothes.”

Sad, sad day for me as a baseball and BREWERS fan. Loved his "Get up, get up, get outta here, and GONE" whenever the Brewers hit a homer! HE WILL BE MISSED!
Slow night for hoops, time for some Major League on the screen
I guess we can all take solice in the fact Bob finally made it to the front row.
Godspeed Ueck.

Same, granted that the last few years his call has been get up, get up, get outta here, caught in front of the warning track! That eye surgery didn't quite fix the depth perception lmao.
'The last time I got cut the manager was real nice about it, just came up to me and said we don't allow visitors in the clubhouse'
Gonna miss Ueck.

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.

MLB Network going to broadcast some Uecker games/interviews later today.
Also Catcher in the Wry is one of the funniest baseball books ever. Great stories

Knew this would be coming sooner than later but still is a bummer.
