Uecker to the HoF!

Uecker makes it to Cooperstown

I always enjoyed the playoffs better when NBC ran them and had Uecker on the broadcast team. I'll sometimes catch Brewers broadcasts on MLB radio and he's really a pretty good PbP man and analyst.

Beats Tim McCarver any day.

If you ever get a chance to read his autobiography...can't remember the title at this time...its quite entertaining

Yeah, I'd agree. I loved to listen to Uecker do the Play by Play. McCarver can be just too bland sometimes, baseball knowledge is great, but you need to be somewhat entertaining

I keep my MLB-Radio subscription just to be able to hear guys like Uecker and Jerry Coleman, as well as some other 'legends' when I can (like Ernie Harwell last year).
