I'm 56. And he was one of the best of that era. It didn't get much better than Robin yout, He doesn't get as much appreciation as he deserves. I would easily put him in the top 25 players of all time and for me personally probably top 15

Saw Robin Yount in the final regular season game in Baltimore 1982. Yount took Jim Palmer deep to right and I knew that are chances weren't that good that we could sweep the Brewers. It was a heck of a series. And the cherry on top was it was Earl Weaver's last game before he retired. Nobody would leave. It was an incredible tribute to Weaver. I'll never for get it.

I'm a Giants fan. Love Bob Uecker, who the Hell doesn't ?, " I must be in the front row ". Bob is a perfect example of why baseball is America's game and our national pass time. Baseball makes us all one big family. No matter where you go throughout America Americans can talk fondly about baseball.

In 1983, my son and I went to an autograph signing at a shoe store. Paul Molitor and Robin Yount were there signing autographs. The line was almost a block long out the door and probably another block long inside. Eventually Molitor left for batting practice but Robin refused to leave until every kid in that line got his autograph. I believe he stayed 2 hours past the end time for the autograph session.

That was part of his bit.. Straight faced deadpan the whole way.. He's one of the best at it.. Johnny Carson tried and tried to make him break character but could never do it.. There's a lecture on here somewhere with Bob talking about his appearances on the Tonight Show.. If you're a fan of the Ueck then you should watch it.. I'm a die hard cubs fan from back in the Harry Carrey days.. I used to watch Brewers games though just to listen to Bob talk..
