Bob Uecker has a World Series ring. Hes a world champion with the Cardinals in 1964.

I thought he had passed away! He's still with us at 90!!!! Way to go Bob! The world is a brighter place with him in it.

May he live for a thousand years because the world will be diminished when he’s gone.

Uecker found the secret to life. I can’t think of anyone who could enjoy his profession more. He is Baseball’s ambassador and an American treasure!

Would love to see an update on "the Ueck"... I remember Him back to the early '70's. Exceptionally gifted man that's was still a better baseball player than 99.99% of the population.

Love Bob Uecker...One of a kind.

I've loved Ueker ever since I was a kid and Mr. Belvedere was in syndication. I didn't get into baseball until I was an adult, and slowly coming to realize who he really was just made me love him a billion times more. He really is one of the funniest humans of all time.

I used to be a paramedic in Milwaukee and often I'd work Brewers games, Bell ambulance. Met Bob a few times and he was so gracious. Appreciated what we did as we appreciated what he did for Milwaukee

90 years young and still call Brewers home games. I literally listen to Bob in the garage…what a gift Bob is ⚾️💛💙🩵

One of my favorite humans in the world. Always was, always will be. He is larger than life to me.

Bob Uecker is a national treasure.

Honestly, I have had the pleasure of being able to enjoy The Uke all 65 years of my life... I've never met him personally, yet I truly feel like we're good friends... great documentary... the peterman...

Reminds me of my dad. Self deprecating and downright hilarious. Bless you Bob

Of the thousands of ball players ONLY Bob Uecker has taken the sport to different levels. With baseball he is a comedian and an actor and still a very down to earth guy!!!

OMG this was good! Tears and laughter, a combination that makes one feel well!!

You know your best friends, the ones that make you laugh about things at work, happened decades ago, life, being old...and you can not have seen for years and within minutes of reuniting with them the laughter begins....That's what watching this video was like. He's a national treasure because he makes us laugh. Yeah within seconds of starting it was old times again. Thanks Mr Uecker, in these times of great division..where the heck are we going/becomming? You remind me of whats' good about life...being an American, being a baseball fan...tx.

I was born in the late 50's so a lot of the players in this video were playing when I was a kid. What a great time to grow up.

I love Bob Uecker. I mean that. Growing up, my family really appreciated humor and we all LOVED Bob Uecker as the funniest man alive. The crazy part is this was the late 70s thru early 90s in Houston! This was bf social media shrunk the world. He is a legend! When his commercials came on tv, my (usually commercial hating) family would all get quiet and soak up his Miller Lite ads "ah, these fans, I love em" and "he missed tag! He missed the tag!"and "I must be in the front row." He transcended sports (tho we all loved baseball). And we couldn't watch enough "Major League." He was so great. "Christ, I can't find it. The hell with it." And if he was on the Tonight Show, my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch him. I still watch clips and start smiling. The guy is a genius in a way that is truly one of a kind. His humor surpasses mere self-deprecation as it leaves one feeling like "not only should I not take myself too seriously but maybe i shouldn't take the blowhards who surround me too seriously either. None of us have this thing figured out." Yet I don't recall him getting laughs at the expense of others. He's so human, endearing and so damned funny. I appreciate it even more as I get older. What a treasure.

I smiled so big watching this I think my face cracked. Thanks Bob, been watching you for 60 years

What a gift to humanity Bob Uecker is!!

Bob is one reason i love baseball.

So True A Man Of BASEBALL AND TRUELY WILL BE 1 OF THE BEST RADIO MEN IN BASEBALL,,,

In 2013-14, I was interning at a MKE sports radio station, and I got to go cover Brewers games and sit in the press box, and once I was walking in the hallway during a game, Uecker came walking by, I said, "Hey Ueck", and he went "hey, how's it going?"...and gives me a backhanded slap on the hip and went on his merry way! I was completely blown over. Uecker didn't know me from Adam, and he did that to me. A memory I'll never forget.

One of the best 👍

all i can say is.....thank you bob. thank you

Bob is hilarious, also Tim McCarver was a great announcer, and unlike many people I liked Howard Cossell his book I never played the game is a great read, this is a fantastic video, I was born in Mass, grew up in Los Angeles the first game my dad took me to Koufax was pitching, I have been a lifelong Dodgers, Red Sox, and Angels fan but have always had a spot for the Brewere because of Bob.

Many many years ago, I used to live in Menomonee Falls, WI, where Ueck's home was (and maybe still is?) and I was at a George Webb's restaurant, waiting in line to place my order, and I heard him say something. Recognized the voice. I just blurt out "You're Bob Uecker!" He turns around and without missing a beat just says "Oh so that's what they're calling me these days!" Shook his hand and we bid each other good day. He's the same guy off the mic as he is in the booth.

I love listening to him. I wish I could live like him, doing something he loves for a living

I remember just listening to Brewers games back in the early 70' s just because of Bob.I still listen once in awhile on mlb app when Bob's on. To me he is a great play by announcer and very funny and fun to listen to! He's the greatest!!

JC & BU 2 of the best together. Mr. Baseball may the legend live on!

I’ll never forget stopping at hotel bar on a Sunday night here in Pittsburgh in the mid 2000s. I guess the Brewers had just come in town for a series and both Pirate and Brewers players were sitting there listening the Uecker tell stories.

I was playing a Strat o Matic game from 1966. Dodgers v. Cardinals, or maybe Braves. Koufax on the mound. Uecker hit a HR one of only three hits against SK in the entire game.

I'm 53 and Mr. Uecker is one of the very few celebs I want to meet.

My childhood right there

There are some things that ya just don't wanna end. This video is one of them. A bit bittersweet. While I should have been laughing (and I was) there were also tears. Can't explain it.

He is the most loved sports icon here in Wisconsin. I'm 52 now, and I remember being 10yrs old and listening to the Brewers in the World series on the radio. I remember more about hearing his voice than I do the games. I wish more now than ever that they would win that series... not for them but for this amazing icon! His loyalty deserves it. The king of broadcast...The Ueck!!!

The one person in sports who matters to me more than anyone else. Grew up listening to Brewers games on the radio, listening to him make jokes about his playing days, or how he was born on an Oleo run, or when I was an adult and he had the whole series in Pittsburgh where he slowly learned what furries were. There’s no professional team I want to win a title more than the Brewers, and I need them to do it before he goes.

Thanks for sharing

His book is a fantastic read: Catcher in the Wry

2001, Phoenix Municipal Stadium, Spring Training, press box. I introduce myself, tell him I'm a big fan. "HEEEEEY, THANKKKS BUDDY," he says, and man HE MEANT IT! Pure, genuine, a gift from God.

Fantastic! Fun and entertaining even if you don't love baseball and even better if you DO love it!!! Thanks.

One of Uke's best was when he said he led the Cardinals in two categories: "Hang in there." and "Get 'em next time." Or when he spoke about the great Japanese baseball player, Sammy Sakasingle. No matter where the ball went, he stopped at first.

I was a kid listening to Brewer's radio. WWF was coming to County Stadium for Wrestlefest 88. For one magical inning you had Uecker and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in the booth together. The two funniest men I've seen of The top of their heads. I wish a tape of that would be made. I do remember Molitor being tagged out at home and Heenan musing that Paul should have drop kicked him

He is a "Legend". Mr. Baseball will live forever ❗😃😄😆

Bob Uecker is the man of baseball always be known as Mr Baseball

He's so funny and just a great man!

Vin and Bob are the voices of baseball.

Prayers for this nice man. He is in bad health after opening day.

One of the best

Bob Uecker is one of those people who you hope is immortal. He's just one of those people who have brought baseball into pop culture.

I saw him on Carson a few times. I wasn't familiar with his announcing, or playing, but liked him okay from Carson. This was a nicely done video about him, with interesting information and content, and a few slightly tear inducing spots. Thanks, I feel like I would have liked him very well, just as a person.

Bob is a baseball hero in his own right

I was fortunate to hear Lon Simmons as a young man

THANKS!

I so wish I could add hugging Bob on my bucket list.................

Best comment by Uecker: "... oh! Look, I'm in the Front Row ! " 😁

Best thing to happen to baseball. Ever. Well, I mean Jackie and Hank and Rickey and Griffey Ichiro are good too just for the the sport. 😂

Can you imagine how many homers Uecker would have had if he faced consistent better pitching ?

Mr euchre is now 8 times older than his home run streak.

I remember those visits..great time ..

Great video!

The Best

As is mentioned in this glorious documentary, Uecker would be a hall of famer if he never stepped in-between the lines. He's a Top-5 play-by-play broadcaster of all-time

The Rodney Dangerfield of baseball

Thank you so much!

Imagine Bob euker. Super Dave Osbourne...and mayhem from all state , getting together....save us all..

Mlb the Show should use him in their games.

"Mr. Truculent" from now on.

My stepfather Thomas Franken, who' used to be an audio technician for the Brooklyn dodgers, New York Mets Shea stadium, Citi Field! He also had breakfast on a steam train heading to St Louis with the one and only Jackie Robinson!

Ueker always poked fun at his major league career. But the truth is he was that 1% that was good enough to fulfill his dreams and make it to the big leagues because the other 99% of us weren't good enough to fulfill that dream

Bob Uecker has called so many great games but Vin Scully is the GOAT! Wouldn't it have been great to have the two of them in a TV broadcast challenge? Uecker could be Costello and Scully would be Abbott. Imagine those two doing their version of "Who's on first..."
