Bob Uecker
Bob Uecker has become “Mr. Baseball” to millions of Wisconsin radio listeners based on his play-by-play and humorous analysis of Milwaukee Brewers baseball since 1971. Uecker’s broadcast career has extended beyond Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Brewers and radio to starring roles in such television and cable shows as ABC’s “Mr. Belvedere” and “Bob Uecker’s Wacky World of Sports”. He is known worldwide for his television commercial work that has included Miller Brewing Company and Chevrolet, as well as Wisconsin’s own Division of Tourism. His community involvement includes many charitable projects, perhaps best typified by the “Uecker Ride for the Arts” which has provided great recognition for the Arts in Milwaukee while raising thousands of dollars. Uecker is a native of Milwaukee, had a long career in major league baseball with the Milwaukee Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals. He was inducted into the Wisconsin Performing Arts Hall of Fame in 1993.
Bob Uecker passed away in January 2025.
RIP Bob. The sounds of so many childhood summers for me are some of my fondest memories. Working outside or relaxing with loved ones while listening to those games was really something special. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Thank you, Mr. Baseball!!
