Why Bob Uecker Stole the Show in Major League 

He isn't just a beloved broadcaster, he is a Hall of Fame broadcaster

As an Indians fan since I was 9 in 1968., Uecker saying "Oh my God , the Indians win it." always brings tears to my eyes.

My favorite Harry Doyle line is "Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor."

Grew up in Wisconsin, Uecker has been calling brewers games longer than I've been alive. I am so grateful when I hear him in the radio in the spring

Bob Uecker was so good in this!

As a Brewers fan, I've been extremely lucky to be able to listen to him my whole life. Get up! Get out! GET OUTTA HERE GOOONE! Can always send chills down your spine

He was hilarious. He stole the show. I love the line. "Just a bit outside."

i seriously miss the days when sports commentators had personality and were allowed to have fun during a broadcast. remember to support your local radio broadcasters because god knows they're 10 times more interesting than anything fox or cbs could put together

Even before Major League when he was part of the broadcast team for the game of the week on NBC or ABC - he used his self-deprecating humor about his career to keep the announcers and viewers laughing. Dude is LEGEND! Not to mention his Miller Lite commercials!

If memory serves, the stadium scenes that were supposed to be in Cleaveland was in fact filmed in Milwaukee. That would have put Bob right at home.

Bob Ueker is just one example of MLB as a part of American culture.

My coach took our entire baseball team to the theater to watch it. Saw it 2 more times on dates 😁

"He'll need a rocket up his ass to catch this one." Another of the memorable lines that made Bob Uecker's portrayal of Harry Doyle perfect.

Well done guys!

Bob Ueuker had funny memorial lines before Major League. I loved his being in the front row. Just a bit outside is a classic.

He's Mr. Baseball for a reason

As Cleveland natives, "Major League" is one of our family's all-time favorite movies. My dad will remark that Uecker's character looks like a Harry Doyle! 😂 He and I quote Harry Doyle often: "Free admission to anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians won the pennant!" "Ball four." "Ball eight." "Welcome to another edition of Teepee Talk!" "The Indians have won a few games here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar." 😂😂😂😂😂

So many awesome quotes 😅

Ueuker was the best part of that film.

He made these movies as popular as they are, Yes the movie would've been good without him, But He made them GREAT!

A juvenile delinquent in the offseason ....im crying right now

🎵There's a red moon rising On the Cuyahoga River🎵

Just a bit outside. Ball 4 ball 8 ball 12 and Vaughn walked the bases loaded on 12 straight pitches 😭

"I think we got hosed on that call."

"Post-game show brought to you by...(fumbles drunkenly through notes on desk)... Christ, I can't find it. The hell with it." 😂😂😂😂

Uecker is in that small room of the Hall of Fame reserved only for the greatest of the Great. He doesn't need to take a bank seat to anyone including Bucks, Caray or even Vin Scully.....yes he is that good. Thank God I've been able to listen to him for the last 50+ years

Hell yeah! Who else would it be, my favorite line is, one hit! One God damn hit, you can't say that on air, it's okay no one's listening.

Major league 2 is worth watching just for him.

"When this guy sneezes he looks like a party favour"

Absolutely! Wonderful performance.

Bob Uecker is a treasure.

Absolutely!

That guy reminds me of myself!

I wonder what baseball movie Bob Uecker would put on. They all used to be on vhs tape. I would put on major league 1 & 2. or the Natural There are 3 to 5 or 6 movies with kids in them >But another adult one is moneyball no Bob Uecker but it's one of watched several times. I didn't watch the brewers on t v like I do now. So I heard years of Bob, living in wisconsin. The only thing when I listen to the brewers on xm radio when on the road they would only give you the away feed boy For the last few years Bob doesn't go on the road anyway.

He was great !!!!!

Uke made up a lot of stuff as he went along like putting burboun behind his ear. Loved Bob in the Miller Light guy's commercials, my favorite commercials of all time.

The Best

But does he know what truculent means

You can’t say that! Who cares nobody’s listening 🤣

One hit? We got one GD HIT? You can’t say GD on the air No one’s listening anyway (Quoting from memory; probably messed it up)

Just out sideeeee
