Brewers are in the World Series, and Bob Uecker should be calling it

Kevin Henry reflects on the Milwaukee Brewers reaching their first World Series since 1982 without their legendary longtime broadcaster Bob Uecker, who died at age 90 in January 2025. Following an NLCS sweep over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Brewers are preparing to face the Tampa Bay Rays, prompting Uecker's family to share an emotional statement expressing pride and longing for his presence.

Throughout the postseason run, Brewers manager Pat Murphy has honored Uecker by reading playful letters from him during clubhouse celebrations. Henry highlights Uecker's enduring legacy in Milwaukee, noting that while someone else will call Game 1 when Jacob Misiorowski throws the first pitch, the milestone remains deeply tied to the beloved broadcaster.
