Happy 89th Birthday Bob Uecker!
 

In honor of Bob's birthday, here is a scored program from his 4th (of 14) career homers.

This one came off of Sandy Koufax

At least I can spell Schoendienst!

When I first read the title I misread the "E" :D I think Euk would appreciate that.

Yeah, yeah, I did it on purpose, that's the ticket!

Heck yes, he's iconic. Right up there with Red Barber, Mel Allen, Vin Scully...all of them. Here's wishing him a happy birthday!

Always the jokester, posing wrong way lefty for his Topps card, and laughing

That card plagued my 1965 set build. It ended up being one of the last cards I acquired. I am a budget collector, so I stick to pretty firm rules of thumb to how much I will spend. Ueck's card always sold for well above book value even in rough condition. It took me forever to find one priced like the high number common of a lifetime negative WAR player should be priced.

Every time I lost an auction for one of his cards, usually by a significant amount, I would say to myself:

I know I have posted it before, but here again is Bob with his first appearance on Carson after getting his Brewer's role (9/23/71)...its classic Bob.

This is really funny.
