Devastating loss for all of Wisconsin and for baseball as a whole.

I'm really glad he was able to keep working and got to be around the team and the organization all the way until the end. I have to think that's how he would've wanted it.

I just wish he would have been able to call us winning the World Series.

If there’s ever been a case for a non-player or coach being the face of a sports franchise, it's definitely Bob Uecker. If you're under 40, it's difficult to understand how much bigger his influence was beyond the Brewers. Sitcom star, national play-by-play broadcast announcer for three decades, over 100 Tonight Show with Johnny Carson appearances, big-time movie roles, national pitchman for Miller beer and much more. Hell, he's even in the WWE Hall of Fame!

And through all of this, there couldn't have been a more relatable, funny, memorable or better ambassador for everything Brewers and Milwaukee. He can never be replaced and will be sorely missed.

This one hurts man. Even if we all kinda knew it was coming.

We must have quoted this 100 times in dugouts when I was a kid playing ball.

I’m pretty surprised they kept this completely under wraps since 2023. I found out a month ago that he was terminally ill and the end was near, so it makes it a little easier than being blind sided (besides knowing it would happen at some point). I think I would’ve cried today if I had no idea this was coming. He was a fabric of so many of our lives from childhood through adulthood. Summers outside and long drives will never be the same.

A legend in every way. Listening to baseball on the radio won't be the same

Damnit this one really **** sucks.

What a gut punch.

RIP, Ueck.

Absolute legend. I haven't watched baseball seriously in at least 15 years (I think losing to the Cardinals in 2011 broke me), but Ueck is literally the Brewers to a lot of us. Weird to think there will be new young fans who won't get to hear his affable storytelling or quips. Sad day.

Ugh, sad day in sports and entertainment. I'm too young to know him in his comedy hey day, obviously know Major League and all that, but he's been around my life doing baseball. Really wish the baseball gods could have blessed him with a world series run in recent years, like how cool would that call have been. I can't even bring myself to listen to his last call after that awful loss.

When the Brewers lost to the Mets, Yeli was particularly broken up about Ueck. He knew that Ueck's condition was terminal.
