Today's series finale between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Francisco Giants is bound to be a memorable one. Not only are the two squads facing off in a rubber match to determine the series winner after splitting the first two contests, but prior to this afternoon's game and continued throughout the day will be a celebration of the life of Bob Uecker.
It will be a day filled with fond memories, nostalgic radio calls, and remembrance of the legendary life that Mr. Baseball led. Any Brewers fan, no matter how old or young, can recall a time when they listened to the memorable voice of Bob Uecker expertly and comically explain what was happening in the day's Brewers game, often adding anecdotes generally involving a self-deprecating joke about Uecker's own playing career.
