and said it like it would be the reason

Ueck not only crushed 14 homers (one of them was a Grand Slam) but he also had a handful of doubles, which he modestly does not cover here.

His Hall of Fame induction speech is absolutely hilarious 😅.

I love hearing him talk about his coach telling him to, "get a bat & put an end to this rally." 😂

Bob Uecker is without a doubt one of the funniest men ever. Just awesome.

Back in the day when he was on Johnny Carson it was must see tv.

As funny and endearing as this man is, imagine how talented you have to be to make the big league in the first place, let alone hitting 14 home runs-including three off of Hall of Famers.

Uecker ! Baseball wouldn't have been the same without him. I think he's a great guy !!

BOB IS A CLASSIC PERSON HANDS DOWN

When he looks off into the ether at the end of the clip, you know he's envisioning the moment he made contact and reliving it with his senses.

Just a little bit outside. Must be in the front row. Love this guy. In his HOF speech he says I still think I should have gone in as a player, but no hard feelings. Fell out of my chair.

Just a bit outside!!!!⚾️⚾️⚾️Love Bob Uecker!!!

I would love to see this entire interview. Costas is a great interviewer and Uecker is a hoot.

Costas knows exactly what to ask Uke to make audiences laugh during broadcasts, like an Abbott to Costello, they make a good team.

Bob makes the world better, thanks

Later in the 7/24/1965 game at Dodger Stadium in which Uecker homered off Koufax, Sandy intentionally walked him. That astounds me even more.

First base was open with a runner on second and 2 out, and Ray Sadecki on deck; Sadecki struck out to end the inning. Uecker hit 2 homers off Sadecki in 1966 when Uecker was with the Phillies and Sadecki was with the Giants, and twice hit home runs in consecutive home runs in consecutive games that year.

Uecker makes the world a better place. Hope people who know me say the same about me.

I'm not sure who you are but you're up to 26 that do. ..

There is no better man than Bob Uecker. He was at both WrestleMania 3 and WrestleMania 4.

"I just wanted to do it, you know what I'm saying? I just wanted to do it. I don't know why I did it. I could have done it a lot of other times." He says words with a straight face, like it makes sense. 🤣🤣🤣 This man is hilarious and Bob Costas doesn't even react to the irony of his words. Bob Uecker cannot help but to be funny.

Always wanted to see him and Harry call a game together.

So 21.4% of his HRs came against HOF pitchers...not bad !!! Got to find a player who did better than that...

BOB EUKER.. IS MR baseball.... what a great story teller

We love Uecker in Milwaukee.

Bob Uecker Mr. Baseball !

I used to think it was the cheese that made me like Wisconsin, the whole time it was Mr. Baseball.

Never be another like him, it will be a very sad day when he is no longer with us.

when I read all the great funny stories about Bob Uecker, it reminds me of he and Bob Gibson getting caught holding hands in the Cardinals team photo (1964). Uecker thought they would get away with it. soooo funny! they both got fined and the team had to do a re-take of the picture.

greatest .200 hitter (rounded up) in mlb history.

Dude was the best in major leagues movies

This man is a legend......Uecker not that other fool.

"There is the worst day of my whole life." Seriously, how can that be worse than the day Mr. and Mrs. Perry decided to name him Gaylord?

Fun fact,In the movie Major League when Uecker says "Vaseline ball, swung on and grounded to short" that was a rib"Joke" on Gaylord Perry.

Imagine being able to say you hit a home run off Sandy Koufax.

Good player and announcer

I love Bob Uecker. He's always the same. He's also what Dave Portnoy is going to look like in 40 years.

I would love to see Uecker on Joe Rogan.

he and yogi make a great pair of threes

Just my opinion. but i think they are the two greatest baseball personalities hands down

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

He thought the home run he hit off Koufax might keep Koufax out of the Hall of Fame. That's hilarious.

I never know when Uker is lying (telling a big tale) or telling the truth! LOL I love his stories though!!!

It very easy, when he lies, his lips move.

Uecker also has said that he apologizes to Fergie Jenkins. I met Fergie at spring training a few years back, asked him, and he said he doesn't recall ever getting an apology.

Yeah well Sandy Koufax tipped his pitches...so maybe that helped...🤔

Hilarious...

Uecker still doing schtick.

Front Row,will never forget this line and the greek god!!
