PHOENIX - The Milwaukee Brewers kicked off spring training on Tuesday, Feb. 18. The first game is set for Saturday, Feb. 22. Brewers manager Pat Murphy calls his team an organization of opportunity.

Did Bob Uecker almost call it a career as a broadcaster 20 years ago? It would have meant no “get up, get up, get out of here ...

Bob Uecker was entertaining in everything he did. On the microphone calling Milwaukee Brewers games, in movies and commercials, and even in the wrestling world when he got his hands on a microphone.

When Bob Uecker was in the clubhouse and on the field during the Milwaukee Brewers' NL Central championship celebration in September he was wearing a familiar hat. It wasn't a Brewers or championship ...

And he sure was. In every possible way. In so many places, Bob Uecker was a larger-than-life figure. When you live the life he led as a Milwaukee native, you become a celebrity around these parts.

Bob Uecker — the voice of the Brewers, an entertainer and icon — died in mid-January at the age of 90. The team will honor him at some point in 2025.
