Uecker’s family says he would be ‘incredibly proud’ of these World Series-bound Brewers

Bob Uecker would be "incredibly proud" of the Milwaukee Brewers, according to his family. The Hall of Fame broadcaster passed away on January 16, 2025, at the age of 90. The Brewers are making their first World Series appearance since 1982, less than two years after Uecker's death. The family expressed their elation and pride, acknowledging that the city, people, and team are special.

They mentioned that Milwaukee has statues and a mural honoring Uecker, and that the fans kept his spirit alive. The family extended their gratitude to the players, principal owner Mark Attanasio, and manager Pat Murphy, as well as the Brewers broadcast team. When the Brewers secured their World Series berth, radio broadcaster Jeff Levering paid tribute to Uecker, quoting his famous line from the movie "Major League."
