2012/08/31 Uecker, Costas take over booth

PIT@MIL: TV looks in on Uecker, Costas radio team

[@markread7333]

Met Bob Costas at a book signing years ago. I said, “You’re the best baseball guy on tv.” He said, “Thanks” without looking up. I said, “No, thank you, Mr. McCarver.” He turns to his attendant and says, “There’s one in EVERY group, isn’t there?!” And so I said, “Well, I was originally going to say, “I have missed you so much since they took Mr. Belvedere off the air,” but I couldn’t decide. He leaned back, genuinely laughed, then stood and shook my hand. “THAT was your ‘A’ material!!” Great guy. And Uek is in a class all his own.

[@johnwayne3085]

Bob Ueaker needs to be introduced to more younger players/fans. He epitomized the spirit of baseball. His fun loving attitude towards the game reminded everyone that it was just that. A spectacular game. Played by the heroes of children and men alike.

[@jamessveinsson6006]

Everybody in the majors loves Ueks I’ve watched videos of him walk it up to them at batting practice

[@thegamingpigeon3216]

Ueck is a god damn national treasure

[@ShootYourRadio]

Absolutely. Plus he was on Mr. Belvedere

[@jacobrichardson1952]

@@ShootYourRadio my mom watched that show all the time and she didn't know Uecker the entire time.

He was also the greatest .195 hitting catcher.

[@ProfessorIgor]

when Uke finally hits his eternal home run, the city of Milwaukee is going to be closed for a couple days.. Just don't even bother coming here. He IS the Brewers for so many of us Wisconsinites.. His voice IS baseball to millions. Absolutely the top of the heap.

[@b3j8]

Hell, I love baseball so much, here I am, a devout Tigers fan, watching the Brewers and I'm enjoying the game anyway. These two are pros, REAL pros! Bob Costas never misses a beat w/that unofficial play by play. And Uecker cool guy he is, just sits back and lets him go. Love it!

[@andypetrovich2155]

I am Detroit fan too. Gooooo Tigers!

[@brokl26]

Talk about a dream team. You can tell Costas knows 100% who he is sitting next to. And that person is one of the most gracious, humble broadcasters in the history of the game. And maybe in the top five all time. These two both just love the game. What a game. I wish I could have caught this live. Uecker is every player’s and fan’s best friend. Costas is the velvety sound of reason. I hate cliches, but this is pure gold. I’m not sure I’ve earned the right to enjoy this.

T Tanizawa Norm and Artie’s story? Lol the best

[@KaneRobot]

That bar looks like it has a lot of good cock in it!

[@willardswelding7243]

Ueker letting FNG Costas take over the play by play is just another example of what a class act Bob is. I like both of these guys. I have seen every Bob Ueker appearance on The Tonight Show. It was Carson who gave him the Moniker “Mr. Baseball.”

[@zachshaw951]

Remember Aramis Ramirez? Feels like he hasn't played in forever

[@dennisandry1632]

Uecker sure ia awesome...back in the mid 60's I remember when I got his BB card..I didn't know how to pronounce his last name...so I turned to my buddy and asked him...didn't know either..don't remember when we found out either. But like Bob said in his HOF speech..."Baseball is No.1"......thanks Bob !!

[@xpditr]

Uecker is the best ever!

[@fenwayify]

I must admit, Uecker rules the roost, but Don Orsillo carries that same light-hearted spirit and Sox ownership sent him packing...damn fools took our joy...

[@tomitstube]

lol, took a couple beats for costas to get the "sit down and relax, you're a little tight".

[@tylerdurden6901]

ueker has the ability of making anyone sound cool I can see why teams kept him around class act

[@ericgordon672]

Norm Macdonald said Bob uecker was the funniest person he's ever met now that's high praise

[@mz6504]

This should happen so much more…

[@kw19991]

Hang on, I got a meeting with the Bobs.

[@tylerdurden6901]

imagine the best stadium on earth dollar beer night and Vin skully and bob uecker call the game

[@raymondweaver8526]

Disco sucks night

[@jrcrawford4]

Guys calling games today just give oral dissertations on pitching theory or else talk smug. In these dark times, I turn to Uke to remember the light.

[@dirkremmington]

Thank god for that...he is EXACTLY what we all need

[@JosePerez-vz1qq]

1:35 ... so when Bob Costas has had wine he becomes Jerry Seinfeldesque? #JerryBelvedere People like Uecker and Costas make baseball broadcasts fun and engaging.

Solid gold

[@amyfoxx106]

Who believes I am Bob Ueckers second cousin

[@MrFlanders4]

well after seeing this comment on every one of Bob's videos I'd say i do lol

[@teamgitusome]

aramis ramirez used to rake

[@kolasom]

Costas could announce a dog show and be great at it!

[@stevenkloepping2953]

I miss the Saturday game of the week with Costas and Kubek.

[@lsmftymf]

This broadcast team works ONLY if Uecker takes the lead. Costas makes it farcical, just like he did in the late-1990s when he started to overbabble. Have always thought Uecker was MLB's best play-by-play voice, even and especially during Scully's last years behind the mike.

[@tozag]

So true

[@edmundnschrag]

They misspelled William Shatner

[@jamestiscareno4387]

Two more reasons why I love the game of baseball. Our National past time. America's game. Americana at its core. The powers that be need to quit messing with it. Leave the game alone. Stop trying to speed it up. Extra innings runner at 2nd ( NO ) ( barf ) stop that. Automatic walk ( NO )

[@virginiagordon2621]

Loveit

[@oxalek8220]

Costas is in love with his own voice, what a J.O.

[@joewright9879]

Ha. “Sit down.”

[@patricklipski96]

Hey Bob eueks got this down

[@sikwilly45]

The kind of thing you only see in a blowout game. Should have known it would involve the "Yuccos". :(

[@jrbr549]

Costas is trying too hard here and Ueck is a natural.

[@jerrystern11211]

Costas always sucked as a announcer in any venue and always will.

[@caves51]

Bob Costas … not funny at all 👎

[@mikesuch9021]

if it weren't for the beer commercials and the movie Major League half the nation won't even know who he is that's half the nation doesn't care.

[@Nick-xd4db]

stupid comment

[@danjacobsen7645]

Really stupid comment

[@c.l.freeman7654]

Mike Such Really? All those years starring in Mr. Belvedere and all those Johnny Carson appearances don’t mean nothing? Maybe if you are a 12 year old you don’t know but you’d be missing a National treasure

[@someguy3522]

Not to mention an announcer for a MLB team for over 45 years, WS winner, caught Bob Gibson, homered off Sandy Koufax, etc.. Really, really, really stupid comment.

[@bensimpson9175]

You phucked your baseball cred. If you ever had any.

[@gargantuaism]

I'm not sure I understand why this was posted. Not particularly funny.

[@Aubreykrendale]

Costass SUCKS as always.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Costas and Uecker including Joe Morgan tight friends since NBC Sports back in the 90s.

[@derekobrien5481]

The two of them were great together on NBC. Too bad it was so short-lived. A ground ball up the first base side spins foul and Costas says, "Ueck, that had more English on it than Mr Belvedere."

[@captainkev10]

Two legends of broadcasting.

[@rogerlinnenburger902]

I always get the best Uecker seats when I go to a game. Always in the front row too...of the upper upper jet stream deck.

[@dirkremmington]

Hey, those are my seats!

[@FrostFire1310]

"I figured you'd cover for me" "I always have" Lmao two legends

[@nocoast8013]

Bob ueaker is absolutely amazing. I would love to hang out with that guy for even a hour! Bet he is so fun to hang out with.

[@gravypatron]

Be sure to KZbin his beer commercials! A staple when I was younger!

[@someguy3522]

I take it you don't read the papers? You'd be right. Lol

[@stevefowler2112]

Ueck looks like he is at the beach drinking a mai tai

[@daves2822]

I dont care what he's done, how many stories he's covered, how many interviews he had, games covered, eyes red at the Olympics. Bob Costas should be silent and let a great one speak.

[@gobucky100]

Wow never thought I’d hear this again. Was working as a pizza delivery driver just out of high school and flipped on the brewer game during a delivery and heard Costas and Ueck and went “NO WAY” even detoured on my way back to work so I could listen longer lol never did I think I’d see/hear this again

[@michaelbill123]

Nice try Costas. Problem is... to be funny, as Uecker is a genius at, you’ll never rise to that level, because you’ve sold out to the political class like all Mockingbird media talking heads. Uecker and Johnny Carson were the best!

[@TheMW2informer]

Think he’s one of those liberals?

[@JackChiefton]

Calm down guy…

[@leftylou6070]

Shoot! Costas is a light weight. Harry Carey would have had a case of beer down by the 2nd inning.

[@billt8504]

Is there an Office Space joke here? The Bob's ?
