Bob Uecker, 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, has died, the baseball commissioner's office confirmed to CBS News. He was 90.
The Brewers announced Uecker died Thursday morning, calling it "one of the most difficult days in Milwaukee Brewers history." In a statement released by the club, Uecker's family said he had battled small cell lung cancer since early 2023.
"Even in the face of this challenge, his enthusiasm for life was always present, never allowing his spirit to falter," the family said.
