The Brewers announced this morning that former big league catcher, legendary broadcaster and franchise icon Bob Uecker passed away last night. He was 90 years old.
It’s a devastating loss for fans everywhere. After 54 years of calling games in Milwaukee, Uecker’s voice is synonymous with Brewers baseball, but his celebrity and popularity transcends those Midwest roots. Nary a baseball fan in the world is unfamiliar with his humor and wit; even many who don’t follow the game closely surely have fond memories of his portrayal of fictional play-by-play man Harry Doyle in the Major League franchise of films.
Uecker was a titan of the broadcast world — one of MLB’s most beloved characters by fans, media and players alike. In 2003, he was deservingly enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, where he delighted fans with a speech teeming with the type of humor and wry delivery that only Uecker and his signature voice could provide. We at MLBTR extend our most heartfelt condolences to the Brewers organization, the Uecker family and those who were lucky enough to call him a friend, and we join the countless baseball fans around the world with a heavy heart in light of this morning’s news.
More to come.
