Bob Uecker was a famously mediocre Major League hitter who discovered that he was much more comfortable at a microphone than home plate. And that was just the start of a second career in entertainment that reached far beyond the ballpark.

The baseball community is mourning the loss of Bob Uecker following the death of the longtime Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster at the age of 90.

Bob Uecker, one of the most beloved figures in baseball history, was 90 years old when he died Thursday. That’s a great number to reach, regardless, but the fact that he was still broadcasting Brewers games last season at his age is a credit to him and his love of the game.
