Greatest Hall of Fame speech ever. It's a kids game played by grown men. Nothing captured the game and the man being inducted better than Ueck. And not a single note in front of him. What a legend.

“Grab a bat and go stop this rally”. lol

This is by far the best induction speech of all time!

Still the best Hall of Fame speech ever

In the game of life, where so many clamor to fit in with the masses, it is OK to be... "Juuuussst.....a bit outside" Long live Bob Eucker

Enjoy him while we can, you'll never see another one like him.

I worked construction during summers in the 1970s, when I was going to college. After work (weather permitting) I'd go fishing; wading long stretches of a river in WI and I'd always get back to my car when it was dark. I would sit in my car, crack a beer and listen to Bob calling a Brewers game. My whole life was before me and I didn't have a care in the world. I recently retired and it seems like it was just yesterday. Bob's strong, smooth voice ("jjjuuusssttt a bit outside") and the way he entertained you with self-deprecating stories, as he effortlessly called a game, made him one of the best. It's great to see him recognized and honored in such a proper way. He also shares my passion for Great Lakes fishing and his annual Lake MI tournament raised money for worthy causes. Thanks for the ride Bob.

Some people are motivated by loyalty and love of their hometown and/or home team, more so than money.. I’d like to think Bob was that kind of guy. The Yankees, Dodgers, Braves and a few other teams are WAY too uptight to ever have a comedic master like Bob as their main broadcaster. So if you’re going to choose from a smaller market team, why not choose your own home town?

Not one second of that speech did he ever look down. Not one second of it was written. A very brilliant speaker.

It's interesting to consider that as the camera pans around in that video and shows all of the MLB legends on the stage with him, at some point during a season, Ueck incorporates a story about each and every one of them into his broadcasts. To have a guy do games who knows all of the greats of the game and get to hear those stories is a treasure. I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life and I literally grew up listening to Ueck do games on the radio. Ueck really is a treasure. I don't have to sit through an endless stream of blathering about exit velocity and all of the new analytics that broadcasters think have meaning to a game. I get to hear Ueck weave a 15-minute story about Robin Yount or Lou Brock in between calling the game and it's wonderful. He knows all of those great players. How many of the "new" broadcasters have stood around the cage during BP and swapped stories? How many of them can talk about about a game in St. Louis in 1965 and share a Bob Gibson story?

I like how the camera panned around to show all the greats' reactions to the speech.

This is a joke and quite disgusting, bob uecker in the HOF. When the likes of Gil Hodges, Dale Murphy, Don Mattingly, Orel Hershiser are snubbed. John Smoltz first ballot HOF, yet never during his career could he stand in the shoes of the Hershiser from 1984-1989. Even after his arm trouble he was at least as good or better then smoltz. craig biggio HOF on 2nd year of eligibility. At no point in his career could he stand in the shoes of Gil Hodges, or Don Mattingly from 1984-89, or Dale Murphy from 1980-1987 a 2 time MVP. HOF is a sham and a joke if smoltz, uecker, biggio in HOF and Hodges, Hershiser, Mattingly, and Murphy are no

No one to this day has yet to give such a hilarious, enjoyable speech. This man is amazing!!

So witty, so smart, so agile. Forever underrated.

If you don’t love Ueck, you don’t love baseball or humor. But how sad to see all the great players no longer with us.

Bob's one of the funniest of men on earth...

+Murph AA Mr. Belvidere was vastly underrated show.,

When I interned at a local radio station, I got to cover some Brewers games at Miller Park, and Uecker walked by one time, and I said, "Hey, Uek!" And he gave me a backhand slap on the hip, saying, "Hey, how's it going?" Talk about being on cloud 9, man!

Totally agree. He didn't look down for his speech, not once. He was stone-faced the entire time when everyone else was wiping tears of laughter from their eyes. Not easy to do for anyone!

@@ckmoore101Did you listen to him calling games at all? He was always baseball first, but he could make the worst game ever into an enjoyable experience because of how good he was at his craft. He's one of the best broadcasters ever! That's not hyperbole, it is fact! If you don't get it or didn't listen to him often I understand, but he is one of the most beloved baseball people on the planet. He is a legendary broadcaster & one of the best characters baseball has ever had emerge from the game.

So happy he still broadcasting. I loooove listening to him. I dont even care if Brewers are winning. His jokes and stories ... just simply amazing. He is a legend. We love him here. We love every second.

"Thank you for making this evening necessary."

So many good ones gone since this speech Sparky, Carter, Sutton, Puckett to name a few. What an era of baseball to grow up and play in! Thank you guys and Rest In Peace!

How he keeps a straight face is incredible! While the others are laughing so hard they are crying!

Out of all the greatest comedians that I’ve ever seen, I don’t think anybody could ever roast themselves as good as Bob Uecker could on a consistent basis. Talk about somebody who had so much fun making fun of himself you have the confidence of one of the proudest Mnd you could ever meet.I remember growing up listening to him on the radio during rainstorms in a barbecue outside of the garage with my dad. No TV, it was always the radio and Bob Uecker in the Brewers. God bless.

Would love to have a beer with this guy!!

He might be the most witty brilliant hilarious guy that ever lived!!!

The greatest HOF acceptance speech of all time.

I went to several Cardinal games in the 60's and had the opportunity to watch Bob try to play baseball. i even told my little league team to watch Bob carefully so they wouldn't make the same mistakes. God bless you Bob. You are not only one of the funniest men to come out of baseball, but truth be told a damn fine defensive catcher.

"I've Seen Enough to Know, I've Seen Enough!"--Bob Uecker in "Major League"---My favorite line of His!

Bob Uecker, the finest man to ever of come out of Milwaukee, this was an Awesome clip, thanks to the GREAT Bob Uecker & baseball.

He had so many baseball legends laughing hysterically

The way he makes fun of himself shows what a great person he is. You have to laugh...even if it's at your own expense. This man is a legend!

He could always say the funniest things and not crack up. Uecker is amazing. This speech gave me three coughing fits.

Uecker, a slice of Milwaukee.

When Uecker talks about the favor that Bing Devine asked of him for the 1964 Cardinals, that just kills me every time I hear that. Personally, that's the best part of the speech... "Will you do the team a favor?" "I will," says Uecker. Devine says, "We want to inject you with hepatitis..."

That was the most hilarious line for me. And he said he turned yellow in his plastic box, but with the red Cardinals uniform he looked great. 😂

A serious class act! Quite a gentleman. Maybe one of the best speakers I've ever heard or seen.

well deserved, one of the greatest ambassadors of the game.

Put some air in it- what a difference....never before recorded. And one of the best first "did you get it?" Punchlines.

Had a brief encounter with Uecher at the Milwaukee airport once. It was about five in the morning. I had just flown in on a much delayed red eye to visit home for Christmas. I was unbelievably exhausted as I waited for my ride. I look up and about to walk past me is Bob Uecher. Normally, I would just stare for a moment before catching myself and go back to minding my own business. But I was half asleep and annoyed from the flight so I just said 'hey, Mr. Uecher.' and he looked me right in the eye and enthusiastically said 'hey, how ya doing' then gave me a hearty pat on the back before going on his way. Made being stuck on that delayed flight worth it.

I am a retired comic and comedy club manager and I had the pleasure od introducing Bob Uecker to Jerry Seinfield at Swannie's in Seattle in 1982. I can say, without reserve, that Bob Uecker is the funniest man I have ever seen. Miles "Doug" Kehoe
