On Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that Bob Uecker, the longtime voice of the team, has died at age 90. Uecker, a baseball player-turned-broadcaster-turned-pop culture icon, had a sense of humor that made him a household name outside of the Brewers fandom.

As a catcher for the Milwaukee Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, Uecker hit .200 with 14 home runs. As a Brewers catcher in the mid-2000s, Chad Moeller hit .204 with 14 home runs. In Uecker, Moeller said on Thursday, he found a friend who could needle him with sweetness.

Bob Uecker was a famously mediocre Major League hitter who discovered that he was much more comfortable at a microphone than home plate. And that was just the start of a second career in entertainment that reached far beyond the ballpark.

Bob Uecker’s “juuuuuuuust a bit outside” line in the “Major League” films became commonplace among baseball fans. Uecker died on Jan. 16 at age 90.

Bob Uecker "never took himself seriously" and that is what endeared him to Brewers fans and made him a Milwaukee treasure.

Jeff Levering, the Swiss Army knife of the Brewers’ broadcast team who bounces between radio and television depending on the need, has a voicemail from Bob Uecker which he will treasure forever. It is short and sweet.

Major League Baseball lost one of its leading voices on Thursday when Milwaukee Brewers play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker passed away at the age of 90.

Bob faced a private battle with small cell lung cancer since early 2023, which he met with the same strength and resilience that defined him. Even in the face of this challenge, his enthusiasm for life was always present,
