The internet has allowed me to listen to the Brewers radio broadcasts. A few years before his death, my Dad asked me why I was listening to the Brewers one summer while vacationing in Gulf Shores, AL. Turned up the radio. After 1 inning, he listened to every game he could. Thanks, Mr. Uecker.
Would love to see an update on "the Ueck"... I remember Him back to the early '70's. Exceptionally gifted man that's was still a better baseball player than 99.99% of the population.
@@robertsweeney5635That's the reality, although not a great player he lasted 6 years in the mlb so he's not nearly as bad as his humor would lead you to believe.
Seems like we saw those first few Carson show spots. His deadpan and delivery and quick wit were hysterical. Nothing seemed planned, he was just rattling off whatever popped into his head. Along the way, so many times he made us all laugh. What a treasure.
In 2013-14, I was interning at a MKE sports radio station, and I got to go cover Brewers games and sit in the press box, and once I was walking in the hallway during a game, Uecker came walking by, I said, "Hey Ueck", and he went "hey, how's it going?"...and gives me a backhanded slap on the hip and went on his merry way! I was completely blown over. Uecker didn't know me from Adam, and he did that to me. A memory I'll never forget.
I used to be a paramedic in Milwaukee and often I'd work Brewers games, Bell ambulance. Met Bob a few times and he was so gracious. Appreciated what we did as we appreciated what he did for Milwaukee
I love Bob Uecker. I mean that. Growing up, my family really appreciated humor and we all LOVED Bob Uecker as the funniest man alive. The crazy part is this was the late 70s thru early 90s in Houston! This was bf social media shrunk the world. He is a legend! When his commercials came on tv, my (usually commercial hating) family would all get quiet and soak up his Miller Lite ads "ah, these fans, I love em" and "he missed tag! He missed the tag!"and "I must be in the front row." He transcended sports (tho we all loved baseball). And we couldn't watch enough "Major League." He was so great. "Christ, I can't find it. The hell with it." And if he was on the Tonight Show, my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch him. I still watch clips and start smiling. The guy is a genius in a way that is truly one of a kind. His humor surpasses mere self-deprecation as it leaves one feeling like "not only should I not take myself too seriously but maybe i shouldn't take the blowhards who surround me too seriously either. None of us have this thing figured out." Yet I don't recall him getting laughs at the expense of others. He's so human, endearing and so damned funny. I appreciate it even more as I get older. What a treasure.
Of the thousands of ball players ONLY Bob Uecker has taken the sport to different levels. With baseball he is a comedian and an actor and still a very down to earth guy!!!
You know your best friends, the ones that make you laugh about things at work, happened decades ago, life, being old...and you can not have seen for years and within minutes of reuniting with them the laughter begins....That's what watching this video was like. He's a national treasure because he makes us laugh. Yeah within seconds of starting it was old times again. Thanks Mr Uecker, in these times of great division..where the heck are we going/becomming? You remind me of whats' good about life...being an American, being a baseball fan...tx.
I've loved Ueker ever since I was a kid and Mr. Belvedere was in syndication. I didn't get into baseball until I was an adult, and slowly coming to realize who he really was just made me love him a billion times more. He really is one of the funniest humans of all time.
Honestly, I have had the pleasure of being able to enjoy The Uke all 65 years of my life... I've never met him personally, yet I truly feel like we're good friends... great documentary... the peterman...
I’ve been listening to Bob since 1982. Summer in Wisconsin is beautiful. Listening to him on headphones makes doing yard-work enjoyable. I hope Attanasio makes some signings at the trade deadline, and gets Mr. Baseball a long overdue Brewer’s championship ring. God Bless you Bob.
I remember just listening to Brewers games back in the early 70' s just because of Bob.I still listen once in awhile on mlb app when Bob's on. To me he is a great play by announcer and very funny and fun to listen to! He's the greatest!!
Many many years ago, I used to live in Menomonee Falls, WI, where Ueck's home was (and maybe still is?) and I was at a George Webb's restaurant, waiting in line to place my order, and I heard him say something. Recognized the voice. I just blurt out "You're Bob Uecker!" He turns around and without missing a beat just says "Oh so that's what they're calling me these days!" Shook his hand and we bid each other good day. He's the same guy off the mic as he is in the booth.
I’ll never forget stopping at hotel bar on a Sunday night here in Pittsburgh in the mid 2000s. I guess the Brewers had just come in town for a series and both Pirate and Brewers players were sitting there listening the Uecker tell stories.
2001, Phoenix Municipal Stadium, Spring Training, press box. I introduce myself, tell him I'm a big fan. "HEEEEEY, THANKKKS BUDDY," he says, and man HE MEANT IT! Pure, genuine, a gift from God.
I was playing a Strat o Matic game from 1966. Dodgers v. Cardinals, or maybe Braves. Koufax on the mound. Uecker hit a HR one of only three hits against SK in the entire game.
The one person in sports who matters to me more than anyone else. Grew up listening to Brewers games on the radio, listening to him make jokes about his playing days, or how he was born on an Oleo run, or when I was an adult and he had the whole series in Pittsburgh where he slowly learned what furries were. There’s no professional team I want to win a title more than the Brewers, and I need them to do it before he goes.
He is the most loved sports icon here in Wisconsin. I'm 52 now, and I remember being 10yrs old and listening to the Brewers in the World series on the radio. I remember more about hearing his voice than I do the games. I wish more now than ever that they would win that series... not for them but for this amazing icon! His loyalty deserves it. The king of broadcast...The Ueck!!!
There are some things that ya just don't wanna end. This video is one of them. A bit bittersweet. While I should have been laughing (and I was) there were also tears. Can't explain it.
As is mentioned in this glorious documentary, Uecker would be a hall of famer if he never stepped in-between the lines. He's a Top-5 play-by-play broadcaster of all-time
Bob is hilarious, also Tim McCarver was a great announcer, and unlike many people I liked Howard Cossell his book I never played the game is a great read, this is a fantastic video, I was born in Mass, grew up in Los Angeles the first game my dad took me to Koufax was pitching, I have been a lifelong Dodgers, Red Sox, and Angels fan but have always had a spot for the Brewere because of Bob.
I was a kid listening to Brewer's radio. WWF was coming to County Stadium for Wrestlefest 88. For one magical inning you had Uecker and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in the booth together. The two funniest men I've seen of The top of their heads. I wish a tape of that would be made. I do remember Molitor being tagged out at home and Heenan musing that Paul should have drop kicked him
Ueker always poked fun at his major league career. But the truth is he was that 1% that was good enough to fulfill his dreams and make it to the big leagues because the other 99% of us weren't good enough to fulfill that dream
One of Uke's best was when he said he led the Cardinals in two categories: "Hang in there." and "Get 'em next time." Or when he spoke about the great Japanese baseball player, Sammy Sakasingle. No matter where the ball went, he stopped at first.
I saw him on Carson a few times. I wasn't familiar with his announcing, or playing, but liked him okay from Carson. This was a nicely done video about him, with interesting information and content, and a few slightly tear inducing spots. Thanks, I feel like I would have liked him very well, just as a person.
Joe Morgan passed away Oct. 11, 2020. Costas and Uecker did do an MLB Network broadcast for an inning or so in 2014: th-cam.com/video/sBHTroH7xO4/w-d-xo.html

I’m watching this in August of 2024 and this video is over a decade old and he’s still calling baseball games. What a man!
I thought he had passed away! He's still with us at 90!!!! Way to go Bob! The world is a brighter place with him in it.
@@StevieD1xDon't go talking crazy now. BTW it's the Guardians now. 🙄😒
Uecker found the secret to life. I can’t think of anyone who could enjoy his profession more. He is Baseball’s ambassador and an American treasure!

Amen!

Bob Uecker has a World Series ring. Hes a world champion with the Cardinals in 1964.
It was the Tuba that sealed the deal for the Cardinals. Definitely messed with the Yankees, or at least made them feel bad for the Cardinals.
Reminds me of my dad. Self deprecating and downright hilarious. Bless you Bob

Damn. It’s been almost 50 years since I’ve played Strat-O-Matic. What memories.
My friends and I a
Paid Strat O Matic. I’m 67.
Bob Uecker is one of those people who you hope is immortal. He's just one of those people who have brought baseball into pop culture.

all i can say is.....thank you bob. thank you

I'm 53 and Mr. Uecker is one of the very few celebs I want to meet.
Bob did the play by play of my son pitching. Of course I recorded it, and will treasure it forever.😀
Bob Uecker is now 90 and still looks great.
Bob is hilarious, also Tim McCarver was a great announcer, and unlike many people I liked Howard Cossell his book I never played the game is a great read, this is a fantastic video, I was born in Mass, grew up in Los Angeles the first game my dad took me to Koufax was pitching, I have been a lifelong Dodgers, Red Sox, and Angels fan but have always had a spot for the Brewere because of Bob.
This isn't even my boat I just took it. Hilarious
Prayers for this nice man. He is in bad health after opening day.
😢🙏
I love the guy! Most of us can relate to sports futility..what a great wit!
Fantastic! Fun and entertaining even if you don't love baseball and even better if you DO love it!!! Thanks.
I heard the first night he was on radio with Merle Harmon. Listened to Brewers every night
His book is a fantastic read: Catcher in the Wry
I was a kid listening to Brewer's radio. WWF was coming to County Stadium for Wrestlefest 88. For one magical inning you had Uecker and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in the booth together. The two funniest men I've seen of The top of their heads. I wish a tape of that would be made. I do remember Molitor being tagged out at home and Heenan musing that Paul should have drop kicked him
Great show gentlemen! So glad to listen to this after the Thomas deal.
One of the best 👍
The artie lange norm Macdonald stories of Bob are legendary
Ueker always poked fun at his major league career. But the truth is he was that 1% that was good enough to fulfill his dreams and make it to the big leagues because the other 99% of us weren't good enough to fulfill that dream
Damn right. The distance between Bob Uecker and Willie Mays was a lot smaller than the distance between Uecker and somebody such as us.
One of Uke's best was when he said he led the Cardinals in two categories:
"Hang in there." and "Get 'em next time." Or when he spoke about the great Japanese baseball player, Sammy Sakasingle. No matter where the ball went, he stopped at first.
My childhood right there
Imagine Bob euker. Super Dave Osbourne...and mayhem from all state , getting together....save us all..
I saw him on Carson a few times. I wasn't familiar with his announcing, or playing, but liked him okay from Carson. This was a nicely done video about him, with interesting information and content, and a few slightly tear inducing spots. Thanks, I feel like I would have liked him very well, just as a person.
Bob Uecker is the man of baseball always be known as Mr Baseball
So love Bob. There is no other like him
I so wish I could add hugging Bob on my bucket list.................
He is a "Legend". Mr. Baseball will live forever ❗😃😄😆
Vin and Bob are the voices of baseball.
Best comment by Uecker: "... oh! Look, I'm in the Front Row ! " 😁
"Mr. Truculent" from now on.
Mlb the Show should use him in their games.
Bob is a baseball hero in his own right
I was fortunate to hear Lon Simmons as a young man
One of the best
THANKS!
I remember those visits..great time ..
He's so funny and just a great man!
Can you imagine how many homers Uecker would have had if he faced consistent better pitching ?
I was never a baseball fan persay but i love the major league movies and he was the best part of those movies
Mr euchre is now 8 times older than his home run streak.
The Rodney Dangerfield of baseball
Thank you so much!
we need uecker to do a national game with costas and morgan again

Go Bob Go!!
I have his '64 baseball card.
Ueck, the funniest person ever.
14 homers...3 of which, came off Hall of Famers. Baseball is just beautifully weird, isn't it?
OMG this was good! Tears and laughter, a combination that makes one feel well!!
Please tell me there's an autobiography titled "Just a Bit Outside"
Bob's book is called "Catcher in the Wry" lol
The Cards should never have let him go.
"I must be in the front row!"
Coach O for sure! BTW way to rep the SDSU hat
That was a sousaphone, not a tuba.
Two more requests: would you happen to have either of the Network specials on Eckersley or Brett?
We do not have the Eckersley special; the Brett one may be found here: www.mlb.com/tv/shows/mlbtv-featured-svod-video-list/mlb-network-presents-brett
