RIP Bob Uecker



Bob Uecker once went to the mound to talk to Bob Gibson. Gibson barked,
"What are you doing out here?"
Uecker replied, “Oh, nothing, just going out to talk to Curt Flood in center."
Cardinals management had this picture retaken because Gibson and Uecker were holding hands with big goofy smiles on their faces. Bob Uecker & Bob Gibson are both fined by the Cardinals for holding hands for team picture, `64
Go easy
 


Bob Uecker story:

My cousin is a cop. Near Am Fam, there is a police bar. He was in there one day with my aunt and uncle. The place is packed for lunch with police officers.

Ueck walked in. Took pictures with everyone and had his lunch. Then he left.

After he leaves, the PA announcer said over the loudspeaker: "All of your meals have been paid for."

Bob paid for everyone's lunch.

RIP Mr. Baseball.
 
After seeing him in Major League, I learned that he was the PBP guy for the Brewers. I thought that was amazing and hilarious that the Brewers hired him to be a real announcer after they saw him do it in a movie.

I didn't realize he was the voice of the Brewers decades before Major League came out!
