Bob Uecker was a professional baseball catcher and sportscaster
who served as the primary broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers
of Major League Baseball for 54 seasons.

Uecker became known for his self-deprecating wit and became a
regular fixture on late night talk shows in the 1970s and 1980s.

Uecker was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer in 2023. He
died in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, on January 16 ten days 
before his 91st birthday.
