RIP Bob Uecker

[DawgInThe256]

I read his book "Catcher in the Wry" as a kid, but never got around to reading "Catcher in the Rye"

Really funny guy, better comedian than a player actually and he would admit it. He had some good Miller Lite commercials in the 80's. Here's one that has John Goodman in it too:

A great and humorous personality. We will miss him, and I can never forget him playing Major League's play-by-play.

If I flipped through the XM baseball channels and happened to catch him on a Brewers game, I would always stop to listen for a bit.

Genuinely saddened by this. Ueck WAS baseball in Milwaukee, and he was a big deal to everyone who loves the sport.

 

[GloryDawg]

I thought he was already dead.

[Darryl Steight]

Well I hope now he actually made it to the Front Row.

RIP to an alltime legend of comedy (and baseball).

The only catcher that could consistently catch the knuckleball.
He said “ just wait until it stops rolling and go pick it up “

Another legend gone. RIP Bob.

I will forever continue to mimic his "juuust a bit outside" whenever anyone badly misses a throw.
