Bob Uecker - You Will Be Missed

Bob Uecker: 26 January 1934 to 16 January 2025

Bob Uecker played Major League Baseball for the Milwaukee Braves, before that club relocated to Atlanta. He was a sports broadcaster in Milwaukee, and he appeared in some beer commercials. But I think his best role was in the movie Major League (1989). Here is his signature bit from that movie. Just a Bit Outside.

Hat tip to Borepatch

I can heartily endorse his book about his baseball career, Catcher In The Wry.

Rest in peace, Uke.
