Bob Uecker brought the Brewers to life for generations of fans. And that was just the start of a second career in entertainment that reached far beyond the ballpark.
Uecker, the backup catcher turned Hollywood star, and the legendary radio voice of his hometown team for more than five decades, has died. He was 90.
I’m really sad he never got to see his beloved Brewers win the big one. I’m even more sad I’ll never get to hear him call a home game again. I’m gonna order some usingers and toast to him Opening Day.
