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.

Uecker, 90, died at his home early in the morning on Thursday, Jan. 16, the Milwaukee Brewers and Major League Baseball said. The baseball hall-of-famer was the Brewers' primary broadcaster since 1971 and became synonymous with summer for generations of Milwaukee fans.

Bob Uecker’s death Thursday at age 90 led the sports world to share many fond memories and colorful anecdotes about the longtime Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer. It’s possible no one had a better story to share than Brewers TV broadcaster Brian Anderson.
