YouTube While many of the top free agents this offseason have signed and know where they’ll be playing baseball next season, one franchise player still remains on the market and it seems like his old team is ready to move on.

The stakes were high for the Milwaukee Brewers in October entering a win-or-go-home playoff game against the New York Mets. Fans knew what it meant for their World Series chances. But they didn't know what it meant for legendary Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker.

Bob Uecker, the Hall of Fame baseball broadcaster with a quick wit and an unending love of the game, died Thursday. He was 90. Uecker had been battling small cell lung cancer since 2023, his family told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Bob Uecker’s “juuuuuuuust a bit outside” line in the “Major League” films became commonplace among baseball fans. Uecker died on Jan. 16 at age 90.

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.

The beloved voice of the Milwaukee Brewers starred in 'Mr. Belvedere' and 'Major League,' and was delightfully self-deprecating on 'The Tonight Show' and in beer ads.

Uecker's final game in the booth was for the winner-take-all Game 3 of the Wild Card series between the Brewers and the New York Mets on October 3, 2024.

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