Brewers' Christian Yelich reflects on friendship with legendary announcer Bob Uecker

Legendary baseball broadcaster and former player Bob Uecker dies at 90-years old.

The baseball world lost a legend over the offseason when legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker died at the age of 90.

Uecker called games for the Milwaukee Brewers since 1971 and appeared in the 1989 movie "Major League" and the film’s two sequels.

His last game was the Brewers' heartbreaking postseason loss to the Mets back in October, when Pete Alonso became the first player in MLB history to hit a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all game while his team was trailing.

Christian Yelich, who won an MVP with the team in 2018, was emotional after the loss, mostly speaking about Uecker.

"For me, it was talking to Ueck," he said at the time. "That’s kind of what — tough one. All the other stuff is what it is. It’s a tough way for your season to end, but talking to ‘Uecky’ one-on-one was tough."

Not often do broadcasters have close relationships with players, but this was an exception. And in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Yelich made it known that Uecker's presence is definitely missed.

"I had gotten to know Bob extremely well over the last eight years. He and I were really good friends. He had amazing stories and lived in incredible life," Yelich said. "Just getting to listen and talk about the game and be able to truly be friends with him, you know, I think I got to see him in a unique light
