    Greatest Hall of Fame speech ever. It's a kids game played by grown men. Nothing captured the game and the man being inducted better than Ueck. And not a single note in front of him. What a legend.
  • @beastie2300
    This is by far the best induction speech of all time!
  • @SCjmb914
    Bob Uecker is a treasure. He truly is one of a kind. He is definitely "Mr. Baseball."
  • @wjfennelly3357
    Not one second of that speech did he ever look down. Not one second of it was written. A very brilliant speaker.
  • @petep5207
    In the game of life, where so many clamor to fit in with the masses, it is OK to be... "Juuuussst.....a bit outside" Long live Bob Eucker
  • @thomasford8853
    I'm 68 and a lifelong Wisconsin resident and baseball fan! Uecker is, if possible, funnier while calling a game than he was during this speech! When there's a rain delay we don't change the radio station, we turn up the volume because we're about to be entertained by Mr. Baseball! Uecker is obviously hilarious but he's also extremely knowledgeable! It's always been surprising to me that he never moved on to a bigger market...but in Milwaukee we're sure glad he hasn't!!
  • @jeremytrieloff
    So glad this video exists. The jokes. The Hall of Famers and others literally not able to hold back tears of laughter. Just beautiful. As a kid growing up in Wisconsin attending games at County Stadium as a Brewers fan still to this day, I cherish this guy.
  • I've watched this many times and Bob's daughter-in-law, she has a hat on and glasses and a long dress and she's sitting next to her husband which is Bob's son, she's beautiful and the expression on Bob's son's face when he's talking about how proud he was of his boys when they played in the championship game and they lost, Bob's son's face shows a big smile, and I'm certain that Bob has produced many smiles through the years for his family
  • @oriolesfan129
    I was there for Eddie Murray's induction. But Uecker had me rolling with so much laughter I cried. He was just plain hilarious.

    I worked construction during summers in the 1970s, when I was going to college. After work (weather permitting) I'd go fishing; wading long stretches of a river in WI and I'd always get back to my car when it was dark. I would sit in my car, crack a beer and listen to Bob calling a Brewers game. My whole life was before me and I didn't have a care in the world. I recently retired and it seems like it was just yesterday. Bob's strong, smooth voice ("jjjuuusssttt a bit outside") and the way he entertained you with self-deprecating stories, as he effortlessly called a game, made him one of the best. It's great to see him recognized and honored in such a proper way. He also shares my passion for Great Lakes fishing and his annual Lake MI tournament raised money for worthy causes. Thanks for the ride Bob.
  • Boy he has got to be the funniest man in all of Baseball. When you see all those Hall of Famers crying with laughter it's priceless.
  • @loufournier5397
    His timing and delivery. Impeccable. There won’t be another like him in the sports world.
  • @RFXLR
    His deadpan delivery is priceless!
  • I remember a game he called talking about how he was a gymnast. He said he didn't do great on the pummel horse, but he was riding it side saddle. I laughed my ass off
  • @wanderdworld
    What a great guy!! The country needs more guys like Bob Uecker
  • @cheapseats12
    Living Legend! What a speech. Stone faced the entire speech. Not even a smirk basically with all those jokes. Mr. Baseball
  • I’m 51 and have lived near Milwaukee my whole life. I have been listening to Bob Uecker every season. It wouldn’t seem right without him. We’ve been lucky to have him 49 years now.
  • @Music-lx1tf
    Mr Baseball, a national treasure. I grew up in Milwaukee. Listened many, many nights.
