Pretty cool that Ueck was still doing something he loved to do, for an organization he absolutely loved. I never got to watch him play baseball, but he was THE voice of baseball for me growing up. I didn't realize that up until 2021, he never signed a written contract, everything was a handshake deal for Bob.
Not sure how many of you are familiar with Paul Braun. Braun had been the voice of Wisconsin Men's Hockey since 1973. If you were a Badger Hockey fan, you knew Paul and his familiar voice and his iconic "A shot and a goal." He stepped away from calling games around 2014. This year he came back at the age of 73 and is calling the Badger Women's Hockey games. As someone that follows that program, its a treat to hear him call games again.
Something about a familiar voice calling the games of your favorite teams on the radio. You don't have to be at the game, because the voice makes you feel like you are right there. Probably to many, it's like that familiar smell of walking into your Mom's kitchen, while she is serving up one of your favorite dishes. Brewer Baseball just won't be the same without hearing Ueck and his iconic voice.
