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.”
