Robert George Uecker was a Major League Baseball player with the Milwaukee Braves (1962-1963), St. Louis Cardinals (1964-1965), Philadelphia Phillies (1966-1967), and Atlanta Braves (1967). Did you know that when Bob, his nickname, made his big league debut on April 13, 1962, he became the first former student out of Technical High School (Milwaukee, WI) to play in the majors? Too easy?

Did you know that Bob Uecker hit fourteen career home runs of which three were off future hall of fame pitchers — Gaylord Perry on May 5, 1965, Sandy Koufax on July 24, 1965, and Fergie Jenkins on April 29, 1966? Uecker often joked on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, where he made nearly 100 guest appearances, that he always thought the Koufax homer would keep Sandy from getting into the Hall of Fame. Uecker also hit one career grand slam on June 21, 1967, off pitcher Ron Herbel. Uecker quipped that after he hit the slam the manager of the Giants came out to the mound to take Herbel out, and with him, was Herbel's suitcase.

Bob Uecker might have been a mediocre Major League catcher, but he did make it to "the show" and his absolutely legendary sense of humor enabled him to have noteworthy careers in sportscasting, comedy and as an actor once he left the playing field. In 1971, Uecker began calling play-by-play for the Milwaukee Brewers on the radio, for several years he was also a color commentator for games on ABC in the 1970s and NBC in the 1990s, he hosted two of his own syndicated television shows (Bob Uecker's Wacky World of Sports & Bob Uecker's War of the Stars), he served as ring announcer in several World Wrestling Federation events, and he is a published author. Here are but a few of his successes as it relates to this post-baseball career:

Uecker was the Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year five times (1977, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1987) and inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2011.

Uecker was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2001.

Uecker received the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003, bestowed annually by the Baseball Hall of Fame to a broadcaster for "major contributions to baseball". His entire speech can be viewed on our Bob Uecker Quotes page.

Uecker's 50th year in professional baseball was in 2005 and the Milwaukee Brewers placed a number 50 in his honor in their "Ring of Honor", near the retired numbers of Robin Yount and Paul Molitor.

Uecker's name was added to the Braves Wall of Honor inside Miller Park on May 12, 2009.

Uecker was an inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010, honored for his appearances at Wrestlemania III and Wrestlemania IV.

Uecker appears on a bronze statue outside of Miller Park which was erected on August 31, 2012. He was the fourth person so honored by the Milwaukee Brewers; the others are Hank Aaron, Robin Yount and Bud Selig.
