Bob Uecker

This is a special edition of the Bob Barry Unearthed Interviews podcast. Today we celebrate the legend who shaped the soul of baseball broadcasting. Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker was honored by the Milwaukee Braves Historical Association. That night I kidded about Bob inviting me to the booth during a Brewers broadcast. I said I was enjoying a brat and beer, while having my feet up on the desk. All of a sudden, I heard Bob say: "Get up, get out of here." I looked up and saw that no one had hit home run. Bob turned to me and said: "I'm talking to you Barry, get up, get out of here." After that line, I was pleased that he had a smile on his face. Bob had a passion for the game of baseball and was the voice that brought joy and laughter to thousands of Milwaukee Brewers fans. He will be missed. So, grab a seat at the banquet table and listen as Bud Selig takes a light-hearted jab at Bob and introduces "Mr. Baseball" on his special night.
