Beloved Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker dies at age 90 [View all]

Longtime Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker has died at the age of 90, the team announced Thursday.

Uecker served as the Brewers' radio announcer since 1971, a job that earned him a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award winner in 2003.

The Milwaukee native was so beloved in his hometown that when the Brewers reached the National League Championship Series in 2018, the team had him throw out the first pitch for Game 1.

The Brewers have honored him with two statues, one that's outside American Family Field and another in the back row of the terrace level, a nod to the old Miller Lite commercial in which he said, "I must be in the front row!" as he was escorted to the back of a stadium.
