Damn, this one hurts. Not entirely unexpected though. For those who haven't watched his HOF speech, treat yourself and give it a watch. You'll be glad you did.

Just a naturally funny guy, didn't even have to try.

RIP.

He must be in Heaven's front row.

It’s interesting the colorful, funny characters who played baseball like Bob Ueker, Yogi Berra, Joe Garagiola, Phil Rizzuto etc who became as famous if not more ,after their baseball careers were over.

I imagine Christopher Hewett was there to greet him.

Was there anyone who didn't like Bob Uecker? Seems like he didn't have a bad bone in his body. His famous line of "Just a bit outside", definitely became a part of the American language, even used by people who didn't know the origin of it.

90 is a real good run. RIP Bob.

[tbonezone]

a true master at self deprecating humor . didn't go after others but instead made himself an easy target for jokes. seemed to absolutely love his job. and it ain't really a job if you love doing it . old milwaukees best.

Any story about Uecker is worth posting. But when Uecker and tubas connect, well, things happened that could only happen when Bob was around….
