Bob Uecker
He is a member of the Radio Hall of Fame; He is honored in the "Ring of Honor" by the Milwaukee Brewers
Following his retirement from playing, Uecker transitioned into broadcasting, where he found even greater success. Since 1971, he has been the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, serving as their play-by-play announcer on radio broadcasts. Uecker's unique blend of humor and baseball knowledge quickly made him a fan favorite. His self-deprecating wit, often poking fun at his own playing career, earned him the nickname "Mr. Baseball," a title bestowed upon him by late-night talk show host Johnny Carson. Uecker became a regular guest on talk shows in the 1970s and 1980s, further cementing his status as a cultural icon.
In addition to his broadcasting career, Uecker has enjoyed success in television and film. He hosted several sports blooper shows and starred as George Owens in the popular TV sitcom "Mr. Belvedere." Uecker also gained widespread recognition for his role as the fictional play-by-play announcer Harry Doyle in the 1989 film "Major League" and its sequels. His portrayal of Doyle, with his comedic and often irreverent commentary, became a fan favorite and added to his legacy as a multifaceted entertainer in the world of sports and beyond.
Uecker's contributions to baseball were formally recognized in 2003 when he was honored with the Ford C. Frick Award by the National Baseball Hall of Fame, acknowledging his outstanding broadcasting career. As of 2024, Uecker began his 54th season calling Brewers games, making him one of the longest-tenured broadcasters in MLB history. His enduring presence in the booth and his ability to connect with fans across generations have made him a cherished figure in the sport.
