Listen "Bob Uecker"
Episode Synopsis
The Milwaukee Brewers baseball season begins tomorrow against the New York Yankees. I thought it would be fitting to put together a podcast that would involve Baseball Hall of Fame player Joe Torre, who played with the Milwaukee Braves for nine seasons and later managed the Yankees and, in my opinion, the all-time best baseball announcer Bob Uecker. Bob was a huge supporter of the Milwaukee Braves Historical Association. At an association banquet, celebrating Joe Torre, we got a nice surprise when Bob Uecker gave a memorable tribute to Joe. Bob said, before the banquet, that he didn't want to speak. But after Torre wrapped up the night with his speech, I asked Bob if he would say a few words about his former roommate. Without hesitation, he got up and did 15 minutes of hilarious insights and stories that had those in attendance rolling over with laughter. This was the last time Uecker spoke in front of this organization. We are all going to miss his play-by-play, his stories and the many laughs he gave us throughout 50 years with the Brewers.
