Rest In Peace, Bob Uecker

[@mitchellschwartz2148]

Today, there is crying in baseball. Bob Uecker is irreplaceable....

[@jeffsly3230]

Well said

[@spikespa5208]

My day just went down the ......r .

[@pennymartina]

I love your comment.

[@jaysonjohnson6254]

Absolutely perfect comment. Tears have been flowing all day.

Man....exactly!

[@Bunk599]

Amen

[@terminat1]

Humans are mortal.

[@fredd3243]

Sitting in the 'front row' of heaven now. Godspeed, Mr. Uecker.

[@richarddambrosio3602]

Uecker was a national treasure.

[@harrystratman6729]

We lost a legend today

[@ryandiedrich6317]

His "Lets Play Ball" at the very end of the video needs to be broadcasted before every first pitch this year at Miller Park/Am Fam Field

[@MikeMath9]

As a 40 year old Brewers fan, I only know summers with Bob Uecker. This is like losing my grandpa. RIP Ueck

[@user-gt2uf8cq9y]

Like the video alluded to, the early 1970s broadcasts with Merle Harmon were the best sports broadcasts ever, even though the Brewers were terrible. Harmon would make up stories about Uecker giving a speech at some Kiwanis 1000 miles away that afternoon, and Bob would go on and on about how great the crowd was at this imaginary speech.

[@538frostrd]

He will be missed. Such a funny man.

[@dennist3478]

I’m about to turn 70 and believe that we have lived through a time that will never be duplicated.

[@bobbyhamblen2338]

correct but man it was great!!

[@mkr4922]

I am turning 75 and have told my kids and grandkids that I was the luckiest man growing up in the 50,60,70,80. You right there, you and I agree on that

[@Sigismund7]

All these old white boomers reminiscing of the peak racism years in America is sad and ​kinda pathetic. @@mkr4922

[@FredSox49]

They don't make them like him anymore.

[@mia795]

Yes, unfortunately.

[@C.T-q2v]

This one hurts. I still love to watch his Johnny Carson episodes. RIP

[@vlillac]

Yes! I have been enjoying them lately as well 😊

[@scottjohnson7450]

You said it best. I feel the same way I felt when I heard that Vin Scully and Harry Caray passed.

[@SuperfanDK]

Uecker and Scully were the best storytellers baseball broadcasting ever had.

[@jasonfullerton7763]

You didn't have the pleasure of growing up listening to HK and Whitey in the booth together, Whitey could spin quite a yarn. John Kruk will also be remembered fondly for his stories, and I am lucky enough to get him doing color for most games now.

[@igystrvigy]

He would have been 91 in 10 days on the 26th. He was a national treasure. 😢

[@lobstermania4025]

I'm 61 years old and I cried alot today over a man I never met. Listening to Bob my entire life basically I felt today I lost a friend or family member. Going to be a tiff opening day this spring. Thsnk you Bob for all the great memories.

[@truthcanhurt4800]

I'm 53 and from St.Louis. I did the same when Jack Buck passed. I feel your pain. Only difference is we all got to share Bob through TV and movies. I'd have loved to listen to him for a full 9 innings day after day.

[@deejay8403]

We’re the same age. Been listening to Ueck on WTMJ radio since the early 70s. It sure won’t be the same. I hate that the Crew never won a title while we had him.

[@CSmith-oz4wp]

Guys like Bob and my home town voice Dave Niehaus of the Seattle Mariners were classic summer baseball experience. Bob was a National superstar and will be missed. 72 yo man that has watch my heroes come and sadly go. I have not much time to achieve the connections we have when we’re younger so we say goodbye to another hero, thank you Bob, thank you Dave see you soon.

[@mikeglasgow9618]

​@@truthcanhurt4800I'm from Maplewood.....I remember him well. My dad loved him. RIP MR BASEBALL !

[@aconesworld4936]

I’m 43. Loved bob also, but my attachment was race car drivers. I know how you feel cause I felt that when Ken block died. To this day, if major league is on, I have to watch it, then find the movie and watch the beginning part I missed…..ball 12 gets me every time as well as “snot ball”❤

[@stevencruz3977]

He was a humble man he was given over $124,000 by the Brewers playoff share and donated to Charity what a Humble Man, may you have greats seats in Heaven Bob Uecker

[@DarkJediForce]

From a Canadian baseball fan, my deepest condolences to the Uecker family, Brewers fans and the city of Milwaukee. RIP Mr. Baseball.

[@driverhitsemi]

Later, someone asked Uecker the best way to handle a knuckleball. “Wait until it stops rolling,” he said. “Then go to the backstop and pick it up.” As a loyal Royal's fan who once got to experience this man's comedic genius.. Mr. Baseball is now an angel in our outfield..

[@therevolvingmonk]

Sad, sad day. He was one of a kind and one of the last throwbacks to the era of the iconic baseball play-by-play guys like Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Ernie Harwell, Red Barber, and Jack Buck.

[@Badspinache]

And harry kalas

[@Cdntrvler54]

And all those you mentioned, waiting to have their stomachs tied in knots when Bob arrives in the Broadcasting Nirvana. R.I.P. Mr. Baseball. P.S. I watch his HoF induction at least 2 a month with a large box of Kleenex as the tears from laughing flood my desk.

[@burnout_2017]

BOB MURPHY, & PHIL RIZZUTO

[@naturallawman2965]

We still have Pat Hughes. He's close.

[@robertmoore7933]

I'm a league and tournament umpire and we are supposed to say "ball" but I say where the ball was. And because of Bob, when there is a pitch thrown outside and to the backstop, my call at times will be, "Juuuust a bit outside." It make me smile. It makes the parents who know, laugh. RIP "Mr. Baseball"

[@christollaksen8442]

I also call games and thought many times to say it out loud as the ball crashed into the backstop. I had to stop a game as one of the grandpa's at the game did the voice just before the next pitch. I was laughing so hard I put my hands up to stop the game. Only a few of us at the game knew the joke, but by the next inning a dad had downloaded the Uecker call on his phone, the rest of the crowd understood why I had stopped the game. Great people make great memories, we were blessed to have Bob in both mind and spirit.

[@haroldbirckhead9997]

What a great baseball man!

[@harrystratman6729]

Exactly. Absolute legendary broadcaster

[@NEPatriot]

From a Yankees fan...REST IN LOVE AND LAUGHS, UECK! YOU AND YOGI BERRA ARE ABOUT TO MAKE THE HEAVENS ROAR WITH LAUGHTER!

[@briandix843]

Such a sad day for baseball. RIP to this legend.

[@austinm2817]

As a brewer fan, I’m still completely in shock. He was and still is Milwaukee. He is one of the only people from Milwaukee that made it big and turned down numerous offers to stay home. Even tho he never knew me whenever I heard him on the radio it was like we were best friends. Rest easy Ueck

[@55giantsfan22]

This one hurts RIP 🙏

[@johnmassung]

I'm 68 yrs old. I remember his Miller beer commercials back then with fondness. And his Johnny Carson appearances, his face with that deadpan humor. RIP "Mr Baseball".

[@A1Frizz]

From a lifelong Dodger fan, this hurts. RIP Bob, you will be missed

[@WIBLUECREW]

RIP Bob! Wisconsin is hurting today and forever with your passing.

[@Itsmewaltz]

I feel like someone stole part of my childhood today. Bob Uecker was a giant part of my youth as I spent countless days and nights listening to him call games for my beloved Brewers. I can still remember him screaming with joy “Robin flying around third” as Yount scored what was a pretty normal run on a base hit. Uecker just adored the Brewers and kept his immense passion for a team that struggled for many years following the heights of the 1980’s. I’ll never forget the wonderful and hilarious stories he told about his time in the military or during his stint with the Braves and in the minors. RIP Uek, I hope you understand how much you meant and how loved you are by so many Brewers fans

[@joesantana5704]

I’m 60 years old, as a youngster. His Miller lite beer commercials, were hilarious!!! The saying Bob had? Will stand the test of time!!!! I must be in the front row!!!! R.I.P Mr. Baseball ⚾️

[@jaydogtitan-ok3vw]

He missed the tag! He missed the tag!!! Ueck was a legend.

[@elliebellie7816]

Yes, I still remember those commercials.

[@dinofields2295]

I met Bob about 30 years ago at Dan Tana's in Los Angeles. We were "friends for an evening" as he came over and met my wife and introduced us to Dabney Coleman and another actor. He was wonderful to us.

[@martinroche1026]

Wow. That's awesome

[@jaydogtitan-ok3vw]

Mr Uecker to me you will always be in the front row, Thank you for all the laughter and your contribution to baseball, My thoughts and prayers are with the Uecker family at this difficult time 🙏

[@tomdelany]

Bob Uecker is more important to baseball in Milwaukee than a glove or a bat. There were decades where we didn't use much of either but Ueck always kept us company. I literally don't know a Brewers without him. Don't want to.

[@tangofett4065]

This is sad, you could say it’s “juuuuust a bit outside”. He was a great announcer. Sorry Brew Crew for your loss. -a Braves/Major league fan

[@kayceeyou]

As an Indians fan, I love Major League. Such a great scene/line.

[@waynejohanson1083]

Ball four, ball eight, ball twelve, how can these guys lay off pitches so close. to me he was the star of that movie.

[@LokeeYankeeFan]

Loved Major Leagu!!!! One of the funniest Baseball Movies EVER!!!!

[@LibertyTalkFM]

He was by far my favorite part of Major League. Still to this day whenever a flub rears its ugly head... just a bit outside.

[@ZiaAnnouncer]

Came here to post that. 😂

[@mikehan7644]

as a lifetime Cubs fan, Bob Uecker made me love baseball...deepest condolences to Bob's family, friends, and Brewers fans. baseball has lost one of it's most important personalities...god speed Bob, thank you.

[@jodynicholesdougherty5497]

This one hurts so bad. Bob Uecker will never be forgotten. Broken hearts across all of MLB today. RIP Bob and Thank You 😢💔

[@CristineSugar-ih1hv]

He made baseball fun & will be missed ❤ ⚾️

[@livelife365]

I grew up watching Uke on the Tonight Show and have loved him throughout his amazing career. I cried when I heard he had passed and myself and world will miss him dearly. RIP Bob...

[@BrianJustice-u2m]

There’s laughter in heaven today. RIP Mr. Baseball.

[@mojo4376]

Bob was a happy part of my life. He made every day I saw him a brighter day. We miss you already Bob. “Just a bit outside.”

[@jaysonjohnson6254]

A lot of tears today. He has been a part of my life as a kid growing up in Wisconsin and a huge Brewers fan since I can remember. 54 years old now. Love you Ueck...thank you so much for all the great memories!❤

[@sanderjimenez3353]

RIP Mr. Baseball... 🙏 Thanks for for the childhood memories.

[@joeljohnson3515]

All my childhood heroes are passing…

[@mmcwill1]

I hear you; it's making me think of my own mortality! RIP Mr. Baseball...

[@ChrisStenger]

Growing up in Oconomowoc WI. 70s 80s, he was one the sounds of summer 😢 rip sir

[@remfan170]

Born in 1985, he reached the youngsters too. Gonna watch Major League 1 and 2 and open a cold one in honor of a legend. "Juuuuuuust a bit outside." "He's holding his left a little low, this could hurt him in the later rounds." RIP Bob Uecker/Harry Doyle

[@thevoid99]

"one hit? that's all we got? one goddamn hit!" "you can't say 'goddamn' on the air" "don't worry, nobody's listening"

[@robertwilliams9010]

"Anything to add, Monty?" "Uh.....nope." "He's not the best color man in the league for nothing, folks!"

[@sicilianjoe]

When I was a kid I would listen to Ueck on WTMJ and fall asleep to Brewers games. He was the best and will certainly go down as a Wisconsin sports great. You will be missed, Ueck.

[@brentneevel5630]

Same here, so many memories of my summers listening to the Crew and often Uek's sense of humor being the only thing worth listening for.

[@johntaormina1084]

I did the same listening to the Great Earnie Harwell in Detroit 2 great play by play announcers ! Brewer's fans it never the same after a legend passes ! RIP Bob Uecker ! ⚾😢

[@teresakelley1971]

Bob has the front row seat for every baseball game now . RIP Uke

[@Gman8690]

How could you not love this guy? RIP Mr Baseball. Baseball fans loved you and we will miss you. 😢

[@guymerritt4860]

My sentiments exactly. He brightened up a lot of lives. Rest in peace, Bob.

[@burnout_2017]

​@@guymerritt4860i hope the league honors him with perhaps a patch league wide for opening day. He deserves that for all he did in promoting the game thru his self depreciating humor. Every top row in every ball park should forever be known as the Uecker row, appropriately close to heaven.

[@JGinMyrtleBeach]

Bob, you made us all smile, thank you for making our life better RIP❤

[@johnalexander9855]

im getting old when all my heros and people i admired are dying, thx bob, RIP , the days of me and your kind are leaving us with the only money people now.

RIP Bob... Thanks for the memories!!!!!

[@sicily7220]

RIP. Not a Brewers fan and was really introduced to him through his commercials and number of talk shows I recall my dad watching when I was a kid. Good bye Mr. Baseball, you will be missed not just by Brewers fans, but all Baseball fans.

[@tonyo3544]

Much Love and Respect to a true baseball icon. RIP Mr. Uecker!

[@robertcrist5747]

I've been a Cardinals fan for 56 years. I know 91 is a good long life by any standard. It just makes me sad we're losing all our baseball heroes. Musial, Gibson, Brock, McCarver, Sutter, Shannon and Buck. Now Ueck. As the cowboy said on "Yellowstone, we're losing all our heroes and there's going to be nobody to replace them." God Bless Ueck. 🙏

[@thebadgerette69]

RIP BOB! ❤ You will be missed!

[@rafaellopez4327]

From his appearances in the Miller Lite commercials to the hit series Mr Belvedere and the Major League movies plus his work as play by play partners first with Al Michaels at ABC and then with Bob Costas at NBC he was nothing but Mr Baseball at his best he was a class act and he will be missed big time RIP Bob Uecker

[@mrip31]

Um... Have you ever heard of the tonight show? How do you miss that?

[@IronSikh44]

Bob will live on through so many lines that made their way into our social lexicon - “Just a bit outside”. Rest easy 🙏

[@fullnelsontecmo]

The undisputed GOAT of the airwaves, there will never been another one like him. This one hurts.

[@TheSaintFrenzy]

Loved him in "Mr. Belvedere" and "Major League." Loved his contributions to baseball, classy classy fella.

[@ninolama]

RIP. Unforgettable man.

[@GuiltyBystander58]

So lucky to have grown up with Bob and the Brewers. Going to miss him terribly when we’re in the car listening to a game.

[@Zelepookins817]

Aww that voice! He brought so much joy throughout my childhood. What a loss!

[@ghill628]

Wow, this is such sad news. What a great personality he was. Always so self-deprecating but so humble while doing it. A true one of a kind who is an immortal, not for what he did on the field or in the announcers box, but for being a true one-of-a-kind. Looks like you're in the front row, Bob.

[@mccuj4509]

My grandpa played in the minors and I have great memories with him listening to bob ucker on the local radio. He was an icon, with iconic way he called the game. he will be greatly missed.

[@Gfawkes77]

Red Sox fan here, but I'll raise a glass to Mr. Uecker, as he was to me, one of the few I can say brought the game to life.

[@johnlarocco3348]

Bless the Lord for Bob Uecker one of the best play by play broadcasters ever. As a player he was only a 200 ave hitter. But he is batting 1000% ave as a great man from America 🇺🇸 where we live free. #### And Love Baseball ####

Bob was a Legend. He had the greatest Hall of Fame speech, EVER. I grew up watching him on reruns of Mr. Belvedere and he was the greatest Cleveland Indians play-by-play announcer. You sir, will be missed by more people than you truly know.

[@sachabois1744]

I like him RIP . The bob Uecker seats live on for ever

[@TS-kp3fs]

As a life long Brewers fan obviously also a life long Uecker fan. He was THE BEST. It is a sad day for Milwaukee and WI and Brewers fans everywhere. If you haven't heard his HOF speech, look it up - not notes - all ad lib - it is priceless... and all him. RIP

He’s now chillin up there with the GOATS, Vinny, Fernando, Harry and Madden. 🙏🏼 RIP Bob. Your voice was baseball.

Goodbye Mr. Uecker, and thanks for all the memories. You'll be missed. Rest in eternal peace.

[@BrianDefferding]

I've never met the man, but I feel like I've known him my whole life. He was the soundtrack to my summers. I remember being a kid, riding my bike around with the other kids on the block, coming back to brats on the grill, grabbing an orange soda and hearing the Ueck on the radio announcing Brewers games. In the last couple years, whenever he would do playcalling for games and someone hit a home run, I would listen in closely and re-listen to them as if I just heard an official announcement to the end of a war. I knew there wasn't going to be that many games left in him. He was the best. The sport won't be the same without him.

[@anakina1]

I know I'll miss him. See you on the other side Bob.

[@sierrabrew7759]

[@user-otzlixr]

I think it’s amazing that his personality was so great, people never talk about how great of a broadcast voice he had. He made AM radio sound like FM radio.

[@mapleva]

These were folks who were part of my childhood and now most are gone.

[@williamklister3627]

My Whole Life Up Till Today All I Knew Was When The Brewers Were Playing I Would Hear Bob Uecker Calling The Game. Their Will Never Be Anyone Else Who Could Call The Game Like He Could. All Of The Stories And Jokes Just Made You Feel Good Even If You Had A Bad Day. Now God Has Called Him Home. I Guess Uecker's "Front Row" Seat Was Ready. My Condolences To His Family, Friends, Fans And The Milwaukee Brewers. R.I.P "Mr. Baseball" Bob Uecker You Will Be Missed Greatly.

[@ticnatz]

I'm a Cardinals fan, but have the utmost respect for Bob Uecker...

[@Snatchystashy]

The way the last season ended for the Crew, I had a feeling this was coming. When Yelich was embracing him crying, I knew. His voice was the harbinger of summer for me. The man meant so much to the city of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin. To sports as a whole. Thank you, Bob. I'm gonna miss you so much!!!!

[@lugnutlarry1764]

A true national treasure. RIP Mr. Baseball, you will be missed.

Rest in peace Bob. Thanks for the memories and the laughs, the sun is a little less brighter today. My condolences to all the fans who cheered for him, and to his friend and family A true Hall of Famer Edit: just noticed i forgot the "s" at the end of friends, i wonder if Bob might have had something to do with that. Making us laugh right to end.
