Did you hear that BOB UECKER died?

Legendary baseball announcer Bob Uecker died at 90 years old. Known as “Mr. Baseball,” Uecker was the announcing voice of the Milwaukee Brewers since 1971. The Brewers released a statement from the family that said Uecker had been privately fighting small-cell lung cancer since 2023. He became a national icon thanks to his charming appearances on late-night shows, a recurring spot in Miller Lite commercials, and his role as announcer Harry Doyle in the 1989 baseball classic Major League. In 2003, he received the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame, which is given annually to a broadcaster for “major contributions to baseball.”

His best-known phrase... "Just outside." for a pitch that was so far out side the catcher couldn't catch it.
