Uecker's family said in a statement that he "brought joy to countless listeners through his wit, charisma, and love for baseball, Milwaukee, and all of Wisconsin, creating a legacy that will forever be cherished. While his contributions to the game are noteworthy, it is his kindness, humility, and love for family and friends that we will hold closest to our hearts."

R.I.P. Mr. Baseball. Bob Uecker passes away at 90! He was one of my all time favorites ...
On signing with the Braves for $3,000: “That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough to pay out. But he eventually scraped it up.”
On his hitting prowess: “A .200 lifetime batting average in the Major Leagues tied me with another sports great averaging 200 or better in a 10-year period -- Don Carter, one of our top bowlers.”

Didn’t pay much attention when he played but sure enjoyed his great announcing, especially his humor! There’s never been a guy like him!,

I can imagine Bob, in the choir of the angkes, playing the harp in the front row.
