Bob Uecker

Known as "Mr. Baseball" and synonymous with baseball in Milwaukee, Bob Uecker played two of his six Major League seasons in the Brew City, but his legacy reached far beyond the field. Known for his humor and quick wit, the Milwaukee native became the Brewers' radio play-by-play announcer in 1971. He was honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 as the winner of the Ford C. Frick Award, and he was also a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame, the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame, and the Wisconsin Sports Hall of Fame. The Brewers recognized him in 2005 by retiring number 50, representing his 50 years in professional baseball. In 2012, he was honored with a statue bearing his likeness outside Miller Park, one of only four Brewers to receive that distinction.
