Hey, hey, anyone watch the Brewer tribute for Bob Uecker today???

Only got to hear it on my Brewers radio station……I live in MN so no Brewer coverage here…..it was awesome on the radio. Felt sick the Crew lost today too. But Bob would have handled it with grace, class, and of course humor. My favorite line from today’s celebration of Bob’s life??? He said “I’m not afraid to die, I just don’t want to be there”. He announced or was attached to the Brewers radio broadcasts for over 50 years. Everyone loved Bob Uecker. Miss ya Ueck…….oh and everyone of the Crew team wore Uecker on their uniforms…….only their numbers and his name was where their name’s would have gone. How awesome is that. He was just the man, and voice of the Milwaukee Brewers. Gonna miss ya Ueck.

… with a smile and some tears. Milwaukee and Wisconsin are so fortunate to have had him as their baseball ambassador.

The power of friendship!

Been listening to them since 1974

He woulda laughed at the loss.

I was thinking in all the years, decades I listened to BU, he never had a bad word to say about anyone
