MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WRN) — Paying tribute to “Mr. Baseball.”
The Milwaukee Brewers will salute longtime broadcaster Bob Uecker at their home opener against the Kansas City Royals. Here is Brewers Chief Operating Officer Marti Wronski.
“We’re gonna have Bob’s autograph across the outfield for certain. We’re absolutely going to have a moment of silence so we all tip our hats and hearts to Bob and really have that moment to honor him,” Wronski said.
Brewer players will also wear a uniform patch honoring Uecker throughout the coming season. A celebration of Uecker’s life will take place adjacent to an August game at American Family Field. Uecker died in January at age 90.
