This 90-Year-Old Is Still Sports’ Funniest Person 

And just remember he had .200 in the majors, which means if he played in a Sunday league, he’d be the best player by a mile. He wasn’t bad at baseball. He was just bad at major league baseball.

Bob Eucker commentating drunk in the major league movies is worth gold.

Did him dirty by mentioning him leading the league in passed balls in 67’ without giving the context… he just happened to be the personal catcher for one of the nastiest knuckleballs in MLB history, Phil Niekro

I STILL use his “I must be in the front row” and “JUST a bit outside” lines. 😂😂

A straight up legend. I always feel like us Mets fans are spoiled with Howie but I feel like Bob playing Harry Doyle in Major League made a lot of 90’s kid like myself who root for other teams love him so much.

I didn't think Bob Gibson was capable of smiling while wearing a uniform. The man was a cold-blooded assassin.

THANK YOU FOR PRAISING BOB UECKER, HE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE

Norm Macdonald's and Artie Lange stories on him are some of the funniest stuff ever.

This 90 year old Wisconsin sports announcer still calls baseball games the old fashioned way

As a Brewers fan, Bob Uckler doing play-by-play is as good as winning any World Series Trophy

Nothing is better than listening to Uke call a game on the radio

That baseball Hall of Fame speech he gave is probably one of the best ever given in Cooperstown. Had the guys sitting behind him practically falling out of their seats. It's basically the closest we ever got to a stand-up special by Bob.

He has made being a Brewer fan feel like the best thing. Sure, they've never won it all, but having Uke calling my team's games during my entire life has been amazing, and I wouldn't trade him for all the rings.

When speaking about catching a knuckleball pitcher Bob said it was no problem, after the pitch gets by you you just chase it till it stops rolling, then you just pick it up

Ueker is the best Thing that ever happened to baseball. “Just a bit outside.” 😂😂 Gets me every time.

Thank you for doing this video. Being an 80s kid you pretty much just know him for funny Miller Lite commercials, late night tv, announcing, and movies. Thats hilarious about him claiming to play for the Marquette baseball team 😂😂

That Miller Lite commercial was legendary. You're in the wrong seat buddy. I must be in the Front Roooow.😂 Love this man. Mr. Baseball

I've never seen anything this bizarre, and I've seen Mr. Belvedere naked. Whoo!

One of the best at self depreciating humor

Hes a man who's love of baseball itself never faded. It's the main reason he's so great as an announcer. The man truly loves the game and it is in every word he speaks

I came up to bat in the 9th inning with our team down and two outs, I look over to the opponent’s dugout, and they were already in street clothes.

Love that you included Norm doing his Uecker impression and Belvedere story. You don't often see Letterman laughing so hard he can't catch his breath. Bob Uecker is one of the funniest men alive.

If I had to build a Rushmore of baseball announcers, there are three voices that are guaranteed and a fourth that could be one of many (depending on the day). The three that I would definitely enshrine are Dave Niehuas (original voice of the Seattle Mariners), the incomparable Vin Scully, and Bob Uecker. They were all special to the audiences that heard them during the years. Bob was one of the reasons I wanted to get into broadcasting (haven't tried it yet) because he was such a character that I felt confident being myself on the air. Thank you for giving Bob Uecker the spotlight he deserves, and great content as always.

my wife’s grandfather was a scout for the Brewers since their inception till the mid 1990s when he passed. He knew Bob Eucker pretty well during his time as my wife recalls he was a pretty unique individual.

That's a truly awesome video. Major League is still one of my favorites. 'Ball 4, ball 8, ball 12' he was classic in that movie.

I love this guy, plus major league is my favorite baseball movie and he is so funny acting in it

His hall of Fame speech is worth watching if you have a few spare minutes. Had people crying with laughter

Really great video. Bob Eucker is hilarious and the Brewers are lucky to have such a great personality in the booth.

I remember buying a book that Bob put out back in 1983. It was so hilarious I almost put myself in concussion protocol from banging my against the headboard of my bed. I must admit that I do a pretty good job in impersonating his Harry Doyle character from Major League. Bob Uecker,baseball and comedy is definitely a winning combination! 😅

His face while getting choked by Andre is one of the greatest slapsitick moments ever

Bob is a true ambassador of baseball. Just a great guy. I grew up an hour from County Stadium and Miller Park (We all still call it that here). He loves to fish on Lake Michigan and is friendly to fans that he comes across. Class act.

I don't think I've ever met anyone that doesn't like Bob Uecker. He's just an amazing man and extremely talented. He was always in excellent physical condition as well. Imagine working in radio/television for 50 "DAYS" without a contract? This man has done it for 50 years. LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!

"Well, Bob and I are holding hands." I bet Jon Bois loves this guy.

even decades before the section dedicated to him, having "bob Uecker" seats was a Milwaukee kinda way of saying you have bad seats to not just brewers games but just about anything (the irony ofc being the brewers played in what looks like a minor league park where every seat was good into the 2000s, the stadium used in Major League).

Bob is a national treasure

A close 2nd for humorous baseball commentators: Mike Krukow, TV analyst for the San Francisco Giants... his tagline of " Grab Some Pine Meat " for strikeouts is just a sample of his humor

Brew crew really got to win one for uck

Growing up in Wisconsin with Uecker on the radio, he is an institution. Having heard a lot of baseball teams radio broadcasts across the country, there is no one like him. We are lucky to have him. A lot of years, particularly in the 90s, the team was so dreadful. But we still tuned in to hear Uecker. Its true, he never runs down the players or the team. He is funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. Uecker only does home games now. If you have the MLB app and a subscription, i encourage you to give a Brewers game a listen.

"Every player knows when its time to retire. For me, it was the day I walked into the clubhouse and the manager said 'no visitors allowed"

No one who knows anything about baseball can help but smile when the name Bob Uecker is uttered. Personally I laugh from the gut.

As a Milwaukee fan, I still try to tune in to some home games on 620AM!

Get up, get up, get outta here, GONE. WHAT A F'N LEGEND!

"Just a bit outside."

wasn’t expecting a norm appearance, but happy to see him here

The only one that could tell a baseball story as good as Uke was Joe Garagiola

"Tonight's post-game show brought to you by... Christ, I can't find it. The hell with it!"

Bob Uecker made a comedy career out of using humility as a comedy construct. He was genius. He dialed in to human insecurities and made them adorable.

this is guy is the best ,a real down to earth met him in Sun City years a go when he was with the Brewers ,unforgetable guy!!

I didn't know I needed this in my life. Ty very much for the content.

As a Mets fan I have to say that Uke is a national treasure. I wish we had him on with Kiner, Murphy, and Nelson... what a lineup that would have been...

JUUUST a bit outside!

One of the great dry wits of the sport. Baseball has many pauses and lengthy periods of waiting - Uecker makes them fun.

The Brewers have been irrelevant garbage for almost their entire existence and Uecker was the only thing that made stomaching their consistently 💩’ty product possible. On more occasions than I can recall while listening to games in the car I’ve had to pull over to the side of the road to prevent an accident because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see straight,. When he dies the people in states surrounding Wisconsin will be able to hear the sorrowful cries of a city and state that deeply adores him not only because of his memory but because he can never be replaced.

I remember as a kid, "He missed the tag!!!!!"...

Mr. Belvedere, Major League, Bob Uecker has been a consistently funny presence since before my time, Mr. Belvedere is as far back as my memory lets me see. He's a legend and we're lucky to have him and his work

The soundtrack just gave me a flood of memories thank you

Yes Bob Uecker is amazing. One of the funniest people ever and definitely the funniest broadcaster ever.

This thumbnail is a great look for Uecker. Looks like the Chevy chase of baseball announcing

1:45 the Mike Ross of Baseball

Didn’t know a lot about his story pre announcing loved the video man

He could still call a better game piss drunk than Joe Buck ever could!

Juuuuuust a bit outside!

.200 in the Show is .200 higher than 99.9% of the world population. He’s a stud.

Juuuuuuuuuuuussst a bit outsiiiiiiddde!

Happy to see the Norm cameo

Charisma. Pure, natural charisma.

I love this man so much! We need to win him a World Series before.... you know

I remember a beer commercial when I was a kid featuring Ron Cey and Bob Uecker Cey was talking about how amazied he was that he could take one of his baseball cards and get a case of beer then Uecker walks in with one of his baseball cards and says hey Ace give me a couple of cases of beer and you can have this baby one of his baseball cards the bartender says no then Uecker says okay one case the bartender says dream on then Uecker says half a can? It was hilarious and I always thought it was interesting that somebody could make fun of themselves and be okay with it I guess a true comedian can do something like that

"I didn't miss the ball, I was just early"

Can’t believe Jon Bois forgot about this Bob

When the Brewers won a playoff game they gave him a share of the money and he donated it to charity.

I love Eucker, and this video is a nice introduction to him. I think simply making the title "The Funniest Baseball Player of All Time" and using the picture of him playing a tuba in front of the bleachers in the World Series might get you some more viewers! his age and longevity are a great part of the story but the most captivating part is just his personality.

Learning that Bob is still alive makes the world a better place!!

This guy life was a real joke but a good one 😂

I love Bob!! Man i cant believe he's 90!! He was a big part of my childhood. From watching him on wrestling mr belvedere and him in the movie major league

Wonderful Video about a great Person who certainly had a interisting Career and hopefully will continue for a long time.

Omg I love Bob Uecker !

Wow. I never knew uecker hosted SNL. That's pretty impressive

You briefly showed a photo of Uecker with what looks like a tuba. That is exactly what it was and there is a great story behind it. It happened at the 1964 World Series when on the last day of the season the Cardinals won their last game as the Phillies who once led them by 18 or so games went on a monumental losing streak and lost their last game of their season giving the National League Pennant to the Cards.. St. Louis faced the New York Yankees. On the morning of one game the Yankees and Cardinals were out taking batting practice before the game. There was a marching band there that was going to play the National Anthem and also entertain at 7th inning stretch time. The Yankees had finished practice and were in the dugout and the Cardinals took the field to practice when Uecker grabs a tuba and goes out into the outfield and starts catching fungoes with the tuba, beating it all to hell. Both the Cardinals and the Yankees watching him were in hysterics until someone came out and took the tuba away. Though Uecker was only a reserve catcher and came later in the season, the team voted him a full share of the World Series money of $4500.00 or so minus the cost of repairing the tuba which came to two or three hundred dollars. Lord, that was 60 years ago and I still remember Ueck in a Cardinal uniform. I was a sophomore in high school then and I am 74 today.

Bigger than baseball. Love him.

Mr. Baseball! ⚾️

Whenever I see a video or picture of him, my heart jumps into my throat and I think "Oh god, he died and people are doing retrospectives."

Bob has been a part of my entire life. We love him in Wisconsin.

Ueck had the voice and even did all those commercials with Bud Light and even did a TV series called Mr. Belvedere for 6 years from 85 to 90 WHILE doing Brewers games at the same time. We all know him from Major League, but remember he was in his mid 50's when that came out and now he's 90 now. That's a long time he's been working and still doing these games. He's either going to die on the job like Harry Kalas, retire like Vin Scully, or hopefully just die peacefully in his sleep. Just be happy we even have him now after all these years.

Bob isn't just a treasure to Milwaukee, he's a treasure to Wisconsin. What makes his humor though so great, unlike Rodney Dangerfield (a great self deprecating comedian himself), Bob's self deprecating humor had more elaborate setups that took more time, and just when you least expect it, the punchline comes in when you think his stories couldn't get anymore worse or tragic XD! I love his joke on his dad and him struggled to throw an NFL style football, it was going so horrible, until a nice enough neighbor came over and put some air in the ball! Which leads me to another point about him, he's not just a treasure to Milwaukee, or WI, he's a treasure to baseball. He's so beloved in the world of baseball that when he was inducted into the HoF with the Ford C Frick award, he became the only non-player inductee ever to be allowed into a special club room for hall of fame players only while in Cooperstown. He's one of very few persons that can make even the most fun-sucking, no-nonsense, meanest S.O.B.S tear up from laughter, and it takes a special talent to do that! If you don't like Bob Uecker, there is something WRONG with you! There is not a hateful bone in his body, the man is so beloved that he can connect to any generation, and that also takes a special kind of human, because Bob is that special of a human being. Uecker loves WI and Baseball, and in turn, we loved him back, all deserving.

Nothing like Norm Macdonald stories about Bob Uecker he was absolutely filthy every time he sees a good looking lady in the stands he would hit the cough button and say really filthy things about her and then goes right back to announcing the game. He hits the cough button and goes like I sure would like to get with that tulips over there and then here’s a ground ball to second

Very nice video, but how did he work full-time 54 years has announcer for the Brewers & also do a TV sit-com. & how did he announce Monday night baseball with Howard Cosell?

“I must be in the front rowwww.”

As much as I love Ueker and will always admire what he does, he and his broadcast partner made a specific choice a few years ago that *really* bothers me. During a postseason game, the fire alarm went off behind their booth. I think it was a road game. And the two of them just sat there talking about it. At one point, Ueker mentioned how loud it was and how "impossible" it was to ignore, while sitting there literally ignoring it. Fires are gravely serious and what most people don't understand about them is that they flash over. Once the air gets hot enough, everything turns into one solid mass of fire. And it bugs me to this day that these two guys had a chance to make a real statement about fire safety, in the ears of millions of people, and instead chose to send the message that the first step when you hear a fire alarm in a crowded public space, is to complain about it.

Very well done.

Do yourself a favor and look up Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange telling their Bob Uecker stories on Howard Stern.

Uecker is the broadcast GOAT.

Wow, this is so nostalgic. I didn't realize he was still announcing.

Aside from Vin Scully who is the greatest sportscaster of all time, Bob Uecker is number 2 in baseball in my opinion. He's your hilarious great uncle.

Like, I get the title is the algorithm thing, but I'm sad that "OK, this video is about Bob Uecker" would just amass millions of views anyway.

I’ve sat in the Uecker seats

The part I don't understand is how Bob got in the major leagues. This doesn't tell that story very well. Keep in mind, a "bad major leaguer" is still a GREAT baseball player! 99% of baseball players aren't good enough to make the major leagues, let alone remain in the major leagues for 6 years. So Bob must have been a great baseball player in highschool or something. But this content doesn't explain that.

The dad in Mr belvedere

He's the Harry Carey of Milwaukee

Today's game 200 is ok
