Over 60 years ago, Uecker made headlines not for what he did at the plate during the 1964 World Series, when he played one of his six MLB seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. He actually never played in the seven-game series. But he made headlines for what he did before a game.

The baseball community shares their condolences following the news of broadcast legend Bob Uecker's passing at the age of 90.

Legendary Milwaukee Brewers play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker died at the age of 90 on Thursday, and the tributes to his iconic career have already come pouring in. Everyone from the Brewers to Major League Baseball to J.

Bob Uecker was the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame.

The former Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster died at the age of 90 almost two years after he was diagnosed with cancer.

As a catcher for the Milwaukee Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, Uecker hit .200 with 14 home runs. As a Brewers catcher in the mid-2000s, Chad Moeller hit .204 with 14 home runs. In Uecker, Moeller said on Thursday, he found a friend who could needle him with sweetness.

Bob Uecker's death has prompted all kinds of memories from his baseball, broadcasting and acting career to resurface.

Bob Uecker had an estimated net worth in the millions thanks to a 50-year career as an announcer and stints in movies and TV.

The former backup catcher, whose ability to laugh at himself made him a beloved radio announcer and launched a successful acting career, died Thursday.

Beloved broadcaster spent 1964-65 with St. Louis Cardinals as a key contributor for a championship, for laughs if not hits.

In a St. Louis Baseball Writers' Association panel discussion in 2014, Uecker said the experience left a lasting impression on him.

Longtime Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer and baseball Hall of Famer Bob Uecker passed away Thursday after a brief and private battle with cancer.
