To describe Bob Uecker as the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers sells short the legacy of a beloved baseball figure who was so much more than a radio play-by-play man.
Celebrate the one-of-a-kind of “Mr. Baseball” with this commemorative book from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in partnership with Pediment Publishing.
“Bob Uecker: The Life and Career of the Milwaukee Brewers’ Legendary Broadcaster” is a celebration of not only his incomparable career behind the microphone but the Milwaukee roots he cherished, his emergence as a cultural icon and the love that brought him to the ballpark past his 90th birthday.
Uecker’s death Jan. 16 brought back memories for Brewers fans who knew him only by voice, for the young players who admired and respected him, for the biggest names and countless acquaintances throughout the game, and for actors and moviegoers and late-night TV viewers he’d left in stitches.
Through memorable stories from the Journal Sentinel writers who got to know the Hall of Fame storyteller and an extensive collection of photographs dating to his time as a player, this 144-page hardcover book tells the story of someone who became the face of a franchise for which he never even played.
Fans will celebrate Uecker’s legacy for years to come, and this book is the perfect keepsake to preserve the memories of his legendary calls and catchphrases again and again.
“Bob Uecker” retails for $39.95. Order today at Uecker.PictorialBook.com and save 20%.
