Beloved Brewers Announcer Bob Uecker Dies at 90

Stephen Douglas

The Milwaukee Brewers announced the passing of their beloved broadcaster Bob Uecker, who died at the age of 90.

Bob Uecker’s professional baseball career began in 1962 with the Milwaukee Braves and spanned six years. By 1971, he transitioned to broadcasting, providing play-by-play commentary for the Brewers—a role he passionately fulfilled for over fifty years, up until the last season. His distinguished contributions to the sport were honored with his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003.

Following his athletic career, Uecker became renowned for his witty personality, which led to frequent appearances on The Tonight Show and a notable presence in the entertainment industry.

His acting career included a role in the network sitcom Mr. Belvedere and as the unforgettable Harry Doyle in the film Major League. Additionally, he was featured in a popular series of Miller Lite commercials during the 1980s.

RIP.
