We as fans love personality in sports.
Uecker had that. He was like the guy you wanted to drink beer with and watch baseball.
I think he loved his job. I don't blame him. Going to a baseball park for work? Man come on. It doesn't get better than that.
He had a great run.
RIP for the man "in the front row."

He was definitely a pretty great comic. He was the everyman .... who would crack you up with just the stupidest of thing.
RIP Uek

Not only was he a funny guy he was in actuality a true baseball man. He was a player in MLB for six seasons including stints with the Braves, Cardinals and Phillies.
He went on to be the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers for 54 seasons.
While we all mourn his passing I would guess it hits his friends, family and Brewers fans everywhere the who are taking it the hardest.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
