At his Hall of Fame -induction ceremony in Cooperstown in 2003, Bob Uecker delivered a memorable acceptance speech that in essence was a stand-up comedy act. Forty-four Hall of Fame players on the stage behind him were reduced to tears over Uecker’s self-deprecating humor, and the audience of some 18,000 roared with laughter.

From his time as a backup catcher to appearances on Johnny Carson's late night show to his more than five decades in the broadcast booth, people far and wide knew Bob Uecker.

The beloved voice of the Milwaukee Brewers starred in 'Mr. Belvedere' and 'Major League,' and was delightfully self-deprecating on 'The Tonight Show' and in beer ads.
