Truly a legend in our sport, will be greatly missed

Bob was one of the nicest humans out there and went out of his way to be kind to people

When I played I cherished walking the stadiums because I loved their history and not all stadiums even allowed players to walk around

One day before a night game some of us were attempting to walk around old Milwaukee County Stadium and some rent a cop stopped us and said we wasn't allowed near the press area and Bob was nearby and heard this and came out and gave us a guided tour telling some of his stories

My wife and I went back in 2002 maybe 2003 somewhere in that time period to see the new Brewers Stadium and I had some people reach out to see if I could meet Bob again and I know no way did he remember me but he acted like he was so happy to see me and though he didn't do it this time he had some of the people there give my wife and I a tour of the new digs

RIP Bob

What do people think of when they hear Bob Uecker?

Do they think:

Milwaukee Brewers?

Major League?

Mr. Belvedere?

Rest in Peace Bob, you were a funny guy.

 

[AJUMP23]

The guy was iconic, and I really enjoyed the work he did.

Shame on the Brewers for not winning the World Series.

 

[Gamerfan81]

Before I got into baseball, I knew him as the dad on Mr. Belvedere. Rest in peace Bob!

 

[Burning Blade]

Used to love watching Mr. Belvedere, old school WWF, and Major League. RIP

I was just thinking about him not long ago. I was surprised to learn he was still alive (at the time) and still doing Brewers games. RIP.

 

[Alex Anderson]

I was wondering if you'd have a story about him.

RIP harry doyle

"1 hit? All we got was one goddamn hit?"

 

[Billbofet]

RIP legend. I got to sit near him broadcasting years ago with my dad. He is absolutely beloved here in Milwaukee, so great to see others outside the area acknowledge his legacy.

Take over Monty. I'm in the bag. Rip

 

[M.W.]

Please call it Uecker Field. Thanks.

 

[DeafTourette]

I knew him from Mr. Belvedere. I loved that show. Mr. Ueker was a big part of that.

 

[ManaByte]

Major League is still funny as hell. Watched it last night.

 

[Billbofet]

Classy af!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Who?

 

[Ozzie666]

He made Major League 1 and 2 into classic comedy movies, his timing and commentary was pure perfection with the action on the field.
Not sure if he improvised or not, but some great chemistry there and delivery.

So many great lines 'At least their not from Canada'' always cracks me up, since they went on to win back to back titles.

First knew him from Mr. Belvedere, solid 80's sitcom for the time.

Who?

Someone less famous than Robbie Williams.
