my mother-in-law me become a Uecker and Brewers fan 18 years ago when she gave me a copy of his "Catcher in the Wry".

Unfortunely, living in Oklahoma kept us from hearing him call games until moving “up nort’” 4 years ago. These days, when driving home from work, I look forward to catching his calls on Wausau’s News Radio 550 WSAU and 620 WTMJ Milwaukee.
It's a slow day at work, so we have the Brewers-Cubs on now while enjoying your article, heheh.
Thanks for perking up the day!
