Bob Uecker had been calling Milwaukee Brewers games since 1971, establishing himself as one of the most important figures in the franchise's history.

Uecker entertained fans in the booth, but also found success on the diamond as a member of the world champion 1964 St. Louis Cardinals and the silver screen, having starred in numerous Hollywood films.

Bob Uecker, one of the most beloved figures in baseball history, was 90 years old when he died Thursday. That’s a great number to reach, regardless, but the fact that he was still broadcasting Brewers games last season at his age is a credit to him and his love of the game.
