Is Bob Uecker still doing the Brewers games? I think he's still doing some games on the radio. Uecker played until he was 33, so that alone makes him 82 in his 49th year of broadcasting... I assume he did the broadcasting during his “Mr. Belvedere” day’s as a second job. I also recall that the back of his baseball cards always mentioned that he kept his team mates entertained in the bullpen... |

So yeah it was a bad idea to throw him right back into the action the day after he went to the hospital.

”During one Tonight Show appearance, Carson asked him what the biggest thrill of his professional baseball career was and with his typical dry wit Uecker replied, "Watching a fan fall out of the upper deck in Philadelphia; the crowd booed." Most of his wisecracks poked fun at himself. He once joked that after he hit a grand slam off pitcher Ron Herbel, "When his manager came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase."”
