As a catcher for the Milwaukee Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, Uecker hit .200 with 14 home runs. As a Brewers catcher in the mid-2000s, Chad Moeller hit .204 with 14 home runs. In Uecker, Moeller said on Thursday, he found a friend who could needle him with sweetness.
Sure, we'll know him as the voice of Brewers baseball forever, but we'll always have a career full of laughs from Ueck, as well.
Bob Uecker was the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame.
The beloved voice of the Milwaukee Brewers starred in 'Mr. Belvedere' and 'Major League,' and was delightfully self-deprecating on 'The Tonight Show' and in beer ads.
Uecker's final game in the booth was for the winner-take-all Game 3 of the Wild Card series between the Brewers and the New York Mets on October 3, 2024.
Bob Uecker had been calling Milwaukee Brewers games since 1971, establishing himself as one of the most important figures in the franchise's history.
