Achto 27,939 #1 Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Unfortunately we lost Bob Uecker today. In Wisconsin we knew him as the very entertaining voice of the Milwaukee Brewers. ( A contract that he held for many years simply on a hand shake, no paper work needed) Some of you may recognize him from some '80s Miller Lite commercials. Some might remember him as Harry Doyle from the movie Major League. As a note - He was not given a script for this movie, he was given an out line and most all of his lines were add lib. He was with the Cardinals when they won the 1964 world series, but never played during the 7 game series. He was a poor ball player ( according to his record and own comments) but an icon among baseball personalities. RIP Bob, hope there is baseball in heaven. PLAY BALL !!!

c-series don 9,075 #2 Posted 17 hours ago Because of that commercial every time I go into a stadium or arena and I can’t find my seat I think to myself “Must be in the front row!” 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
