Uecker, a baseball icon, television and movie funnyman and Hall of Fame Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer, died Thursday at the age of 90.

Legendary Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker died on Thursday at the age of 90 after a long battle with cancer. Uecker, who spent 54 years as a broadcaster for Milwaukee, was on the call for the Brewers’ season-ending loss to the Mets. And given the news of his passing, the call was absolutely heartbreaking.

All eyes are on what happens between the New York Mets and Pete Alonso. But could New York also bring back outfielder Jesse Winker for 2025?

It feels like a Mets team hoping to build on last year will be incomplete without Pete Alonso at first. But David Stearns can’t be swayed by that.

Uecker's final game in the booth was for the winner-take-all Game 3 of the Wild Card series between the Brewers and the New York Mets on October 3, 2024.

Bob Uecker was the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame.

As a catcher for the Milwaukee Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, Uecker hit .200 with 14 home runs. As a Brewers catcher in the mid-2000s, Chad Moeller hit .204 with 14 home runs. In Uecker, Moeller said on Thursday, he found a friend who could needle him with sweetness.

Bob Uecker had been calling Milwaukee Brewers games since 1971, establishing himself as one of the most important figures in the franchise's history.

With Bob Uecker's passing at the age of 90, the Milwaukee Brewers' 2024 wild-card playoff loss represented an end of era.
