Bob Uecker’s 50th year in the Brewers’ broadcast booth will be totally different for the 86-year-old — including calling road games from home

MILWAUKEE — Bob Uecker describes the most unique season of his half century as a Milwaukee Brewers’ broadcaster with the wit that has helped make him one of the game’s most recognizable voices.

"All of this stuff for me is totally new," Uecker said Wednesday during a Zoom session with reporters. "What we're doing here tonight, Zoom, I didn't know what that was. That was some guy when I played who ran fast. I didn't know anything about Zooming."

The 86-year-old announcer will be back on the airwaves for a 50th season of broadcasting Brewers baseball. This marks his 65th season in baseball overall, including a six-year playing career with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, St.
