RIP Bob Uecker

 


A genuinely funny man and a great announcer. Who among us hasn't said, "Just a bit outside." at least once? 


I just watched this Tonight Show clip, "genuinely funny" is an understatement. He takes a minute or so to warm up but after that he just kills it. 

The card of a card on the Cards. 

He will be missed.

That is a loss.

I have that baseball card! The greatest mediocre baseball player of all time. A great wit and a true hero. Like him, I am - in my advanced years - a shadow of the player I never was. But, like a fool, I keep on playing.

You can never sum up what Uecker means to Wisconsin, either. It goes beyond being "soundtrack of the summer." He was -- is -- remains -- "Gemütlichkeit" made flesh. The spirit of the good life. He'll remain alive there like Davy Crockett in Texas.
