This was a treat. He's a hall of fame broadcaster for a reason. What's amazing is that at 90, he really lost nothing on his fastball. This was a treat to listen to.
I had a long drive from Las Vegas to Albuquerque earlier this year. It was the weekend the Yankees were playing the Brewers. I put on the SiriusXM app, but instead of listening to the FAN broadcast, I put on the TMJ feed so I could listen to Ueck. I'm so glad I did. Got to hear him to do a live broadcast, one more time!
Thank you so very much for sharing this, I personally appreciate it. Being that I remember him from Mr.Belvedere, during my childhood. May he rest in eternal paradise, heavenly peace, and power alongside God. And may God bless us everyone.
Wow! Bob sounded phenomenal! Totally blown away. I'm still shocked John Sterling retired. Bob should be a role model for all of us to keep on living even when we're well past what society considers our sell by date.
you can hear the heartbreak in uecker's voice...knowing now what we know...its sad as it can get...he was my childhood when it came to the brewers...RIP the greatest
Ellis, my brother is a real radio afficianado and it's so great that you would include this last inning in its entirety especially for the sake of posterity for a true home team sports broadcasting icon like Mr. Bob Uecker.
As a Cubs fan I can't stand the Brewers, but when I couldn't listen to the Cubs broadcast for whatever reason and we were playing the Brewers I looked forward to hearing Bob calling the game.
As a Cardinal fan St. Louis has always had a soft spot for Ueck he was a World Champion with the 64 Red Birds and was/is always spoken of in high regard. St. Louis also loved Uecker.
It goes unsaid but at the end its clear you are listening to someone calling his last game and he knew it and knew his wish of calling the Brewers winning a World Series...let alone just being alive to see it, would go unrealized. If you can listen to that knowing the context and not have your heart break into a million pieces you don't have one in the first place.
I don't know that he knew it was his last game, but I do know he sounded crushed and it was heartbreaking. I am not from WI so maybe Brewers fans knew Ueck was calling his last. He sounded vibrant and like he was not sick but hearing Jeff Levering in the days since his passing, I guess it was a real effort for Uecker to do what he did so maybe he did know. It was crushing to this non-Brewers fan when it happened and even more so knowing it was Uecker's last call but I think it's overdramatic to say he knew it. It didn't sound that way to me.
We knew. It was clear something was wrong with him, his schedule has never been that light, he couldn't do back to back days anymore. He's not the type to miss a game because he was tired, it was deeper than that. The team knew something was up as well
At the start of Alonso's at bat, Mets announcer Howie Rose began to lament that it could be Alonso's final time as a Met before going into free agency. Instead he hit the biggest HR since Todd Pratt's HR in 1999 series vs Arizona. I loved Uecker in both Major League movies. He showed true class in doing what would be his final inning. Sad for the Brewers. RIP Eucke😢.
I've always believed that when you die, you're retired. Bob Uecker and Quincy Jones are retired because they're gone. They kept working until their nineties.
Honestly when the brewers had that base hit it felt like he was suddenly 30 years younger and then the double play and he was 90...😢😢 RIP Bob Thanks for sharing

@@hughrist6257 Glad you enjoyed it. He will be missed.

Had to do it!
Bob Uecker is the sound of Summer Days and Warm Summer nights in Wisconsin. I will miss Him. Summer will not be the same.
Legends NEVER die. Forever Mr. Baseball, R.I.P.
Ellis, thanks for sharing this great baseball memory.
You are most welcome!
As a Cubs fan I can't stand the Brewers, but when I couldn't listen to the Cubs broadcast for whatever reason and we were playing the Brewers I looked forward to hearing Bob calling the game.
You can hear the pain and disappointment in Ueck's voice. He probably knew it.
Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Devin Williams....YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!
Thanks....Ellis, Bob was the best at what he did......
As a Cardinal fan St. Louis has always had a soft spot for Ueck he was a World Champion with the 64 Red Birds and was/is always spoken of in high regard. St. Louis also loved Uecker.
Nice gift. Thank you Ellis. Thank you Mike.
@@ericlarson7556 You’re welcome
Rest in Peace Bob Uecker 🙏 You will be missed.

@hughrist6257 what I meant is that after the final out that thought could have ocurred in his mind as he was trying to speak.
We knew. It was clear something was wrong with him, his schedule has never been that light, he couldn't do back to back days anymore. He's not the type to miss a game because he was tired, it was deeper than that. The team knew something was up as well

It's W.T.M.J.
My bad!
R.I.P Mr.uecker Mr. Baseball ⚾️ we will all miss you 😢
It was sad to see Uke’s career end with a loss , but as a Met fan a different story
As a Brewers fan listening to Devin blowing the game against the Mets is very difficult.
Who says there's no crying in baseball.....
rip

@@EllisFeaster it's alright, mistakes happen.

What needs to be fixed?
What you speak like an adult?

My bad! After posting over 4,000 airchecks, I was bound to get one wrong!
Sadly not a happy ending lol...but sorry not sorry (Mets fan)
Honestly when the brewers had that base hit it felt like he was suddenly 30 years younger and then the double play and he was 90...😢😢 RIP Bob
Thanks for sharing
Ugh. Pete Alonso. 😖
