  1. I used to listen to Ueker on the radio when he did color for the Brewers. He was a great announcer. He was entertaining even in the late innings of a meaningless September game.

  2. Loved Uecker. Genuinely funny former athlete, which is rare. He didn’t travel much in the later years, just calling home games, but he showed up in Cincinnati not too long ago, and was hanging out with the Reds broadcast team in the booth.

    Marty Brennaman, the Reds announcer, asked him why he still travels to some cities but not others. He said, “Well Marty, it’s been years since I played, but there are still some fans out there that remember me from my playing days. And a lot of them are still pretty angry about it, so I try to avoid any city I played in.”
