Journeyman Catcher Bob Uecker played for the Milwaukee Braves, St Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves in his 5 year MLB career from 1962 to 1967….but became a star of considerable notoriety after retiring….becoming a sportscaster, comedian and actor. Uecker was given the title of “Mr. Baseball” by TV talk show host Johnny Carson. Since 1971, Uecker has served as a play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcasts. His zany approach to life provided the fans with memorable pieces as only Mr Baseball could provide….like in this video.
