Bob Uecker had been calling Milwaukee Brewers games since 1971, establishing himself as one of the most important figures in the franchise's history.

Bob Uecker was the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame.

Fans began to line the bottom of Uecker's statue outside the ballpark with cans of Miller Lite in a nod to the legendary announcer.
