Well Deserved
It warmed my heart to hear today that Bob Uecker will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. While many may know him from Mr. Belvedere or Major League, I grew up listening to him call games for the Milwaukee Brewers. In the car, at home, we listened to him all summer long. Ever since I can remember, the Brewers have been pretty miserable and yet every game that Uecker calls is a worthwhile listen. He's the kind of announcer that people bring headsets to the stadium for, the kind that makes fans watch the game on TV with the volume down and the radio on. Just remembering his homerun call, "Get up! Get up! Get outta here! Goooooone!" makes my pulse race all over again. I wouldn't rather listen to anyone else call a game. Well done Ueck, you deserve every bit of it.
I'm just an innocent, sentimental kid from Wisconsin at heart. I accept this. I cherish it.
