Bob Uecker, longtime voice of the Brewers and a star of 'Major League,' dies at 90


Bob Uecker didn't have to stretch much to play quick-witted broadcaster Harry Doyle in the movie "Major League." Milwaukee Brewers fans happily listened to that act for more than 50 years.

Uecker, whose humor made him a celebrity far outside of the baseball world, died Thursday at 90 years old, the Brewers announced. Uecker was the play-by-play voice of the Milwaukee Brewers dating to 1971, one of the longest runs by a broadcaster with one team in MLB history.

Major League is one of the most underrated comedies there is and he was a main part of that. His one liners on ML1 and ML2 were hilarious. RIP

Always enjoyed his Miller Lite commercials. He seemed to never take anything too seriously.

RIP to one of the great sports personalities of all time.

Everyone knows him from Major League. But people should also go look up and watch his HOF induction speech, as well as Norm McDonald's story about hanging out with him at spring training that he told in an interview with Howard Stern. Both are hysterical.

First baseball “personality” I ever knew of.

Great humorist.
