Bob Uecker and Ken 'Hawk' Harrelson swap stories in the booth

[@SaulAttario]

Condolences to Brewers fans and all of baseballdom, really. He was an American original. Love ya, Uke.

[@nancyericson4263]

At the end of his career, even though the rules changed and he had less time to tell stories, Bob Uecker was able to to adapt to change and keep up very well.

[@MGAF688]

Bob Uecker is a classic. We've been privileged to hear the likes of him, Harrelson and Scully.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

L E : Vin was and always will be my all time favorite, but Ueker is damn near tied!

100%!!!

[@aaronwalker1678]

Most announcers are trained to not be like those two

[@bulldogsbob]

And that is a problem

[@cuda426hemi]

I'm 71; they tell me. I was a young hippie freak guitarist when I watched my Sawx when the Hawk played and Uke was fresh doing his Carson bits just killing me. Man, time is cruel, it just doesn't care - 55 years ago to today? like Zzzzzip!! Now I'm old but still a hippie freak guitarist! 👀

[@Theshiningstare]

God. Baseball honor just watching and listening to these two. What a sport

[@BluesImprov]

This is what makes baseball so great. . .You can watch a game and still have great conversation like this. . .They saw every play, and commented on the nice defensive putouts, and still gave you that special brand of warm, funny, and yet insightful chat that is really unique to baseball. Memories of old times, great players and friends they knew and played with. . .You just can't beat it in the good ol' summertime! I'm an older fan (I watched Uecker play for the 1964 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals as a kid growing up there), and I'm all for speeding the game up, (I'd even go for a 20 second time clock), but the way baseball lends itself to a few innings of this kind of conversation is special. . .Really enjoyed listening and watching these two guys. . .Oh, how I'd love to have a few beers with them and hear those stories they couldn't tell on TV!

[@paulthomas8335]

Oh I know, right? I'd love to hear that Boston story!

[@JaneDoe-cs9nh]

It is almost more fun to listen to Bob Ueker than actually watching the game. He makes it fun. I grew up listening to the man's commentaries. Milwaukee is my home town baseball team. He said he will die commentating baseball.

[@mosssider]

I learned of Bob because of the great stories Norm Macdonald and Artie Kline told.

[@deanouellette1868]

You mean Artie Lange, don't you?

If it wasn't for Uecker, those long bad seasons that the Brewers had would have been even longer.

Bob Ueker is a born comedian who was good enough to play Major League Baseball.

[@HHopebringer]

He's quipped that he was worried that Sandy Koufax would miss out on making the Hall of Fame after Bob hit a home run off of him 😂😂😂

[@alexandersupertramp7353]

All the great broadcasters are either gone, or are retiring soon. What a time to be alive, to have had the pleasure of listening to such greats, as these two!! #THEREALGOATS

[@derrickyee1143]

At Wrigley Field during the seventh-inning stretch, I think the Cubs will let Bob Uecker and Ken Harrelson on the left-field video tron to sang "Take Me Out To The Ball Game".

[@windowsthefan]

And then they will probally boo because both teams are rivals unless they say the hawk not broadcasting after this season and bob retiring soon if he ever does

[@GavinOCo]

yeah, but we have joe buck!

[@rawhydemusic8620]

Uecker is the best.... It's a great video of Hawk and Uecker cutting it up. Two real good legends of the sport

[@walterlv01]

Just about every interview or even just a conversation that you see Uecker have with anyone leaves the other person in stitches. One of the truly funny human beings in America, sports related or non-sports related.

[@ski567]

Two of the best baseball personalities ever and two of the best uniforms ever !

[@bulldogsbob]

Awesome segment with these two legends. All baseball fans should enjoy this and their stories.

[@mjo4086]

I could listen to these two chat for hours!

[@paulthomas8335]

This was a complete joy to listen to. I wish the two did the whole game together. Instead of a 12:15 minute video it would be 3 hours and I would watch every second!

[@jeremyherrmann8939]

I wish this had been a lot longer inning. Could listen to those legends talk for hours ❤️

[@fxb0412]

Now this is baseball. Two legendary figures talking about the game in the past, while calling the present game.

[@georgeorwell4534]

Legend. Two of the very best, "The Hawk" and Bob!

[@TS1964]

I'll definitely miss The Hawk and all his Hawkisms! Mercy

[@dcfanchris]

It’s amusing to hear about two guys who played in the 60’s taking about texting each other.

[@johnperrigo6474]

It is. Do you think they will ever Zoom too?

[@richardpoplis6777]

Two great announcers.. for baseball... Hawk besides Yaz.. was my favorite Red Sox... loved Hawk when he did the red sox too.. Bob Ueker.. was the greatest.. especially on the John Carson show..

[@Ciscoman4444]

I respect their love for the game. Nothing like kicking it with a good friend, and the memories are invaluable! Tienen todo mi respeto.

[@dankole307]

I grew up listening to baseball over the radio. Late 60s in Pittsburgh Bob Prince was one of the best. His "green weenie" predated the terible towel. A green plastic tube with beens inside to make noise when shook.

[@rayburger6605]

Great stuff. Bobby U. is a national treasure.

[@mikefriedman593]

I am old enough to remember the end of Bob's playing career but I really got to appreciate him through Howard Cosell on Monday Night Baseball and his appearances on the Tonight Show when he got Johnny Carson to laugh so hard, he couldn't speak.

[@andybradshaw6138]

Awesome ! Def makes baseball more fun to watch listening to ol skool ppl talk about the past ! Def will miss Hawk a ton !

[@calcio23]

This clip is gold, especially today.

[@RH-sb5co]

I prefer to listen to the Brewers on radio just to hear Uke. Always entertaining regardless of the game.

[@MrOuchiez]

Uke - The Man, The Myth, THE LEGEND! He is truly Mr Baseball, and a man's man in the world of America's pastime. Such a kind man to boot! Get well, Uke,

[@thomaswolf723]

As a young fan of the Kansas City Athletics, I remember reading the weekly Sporting News and noticing that in 1962 the A's had a player named Ken Harrelson playing for the Binghamton club in the Class A Eastern League. He had hit 38 home runs with 138 RBI's. I was optimistic that he would be the type of slugger that would soon improve the A's prospects. He eventually played with the A's but he never had that good a season until he joined the Red Sox.

@Ulysses432 Man, Joe Buck fucking sucked announcing in 05 (and honestly, most World Series and Super Bowls). You could tell in the tone of his voice that he really didn't give a shit about the White Sox winning that year. Hearing Hawk's reaction to the win would have been absolutely amazing.
