Brewers announcer gives perfect Bob Uecker homage on final NLCS call

Brewers radio announcer Jeff Levering nailed the final call of the NLCS, with a subtle Bob Uecker reference, no less.

Milwaukee Brewers radio play-by-play announcer Jeff Levering paid a fitting tribute to the late Bob Uecker during the team's final NLCS call on October 15. Levering described the decisive pitch by Aaron Ashby to Kiké Hernández, noting the play led to the Brewers clinching their first World Series appearance since 1982. Uecker, who died aged 90, was renowned for his baseball humor, including a famous line from "Major League" when Cleveland won the pennant in the 1989 film.

Levering's homage adds extra significance if the Brewers face Cleveland in the upcoming World Series.
