Brewers to Put Uecker Statue in Last Row (Of Course)

((ht: milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com))

How approrpriate....

The Milwaukee Brewers announced Wednesday afternoon they are going to honor legendary team broadcaster Bob Uecker.



Yeah, that guy.

The team decided a statue of Uecker, a former Major League baseball player (catcher) who's been calling Brewers games for decades and is also known for a bit part in the movie Major League along with a series of Miller Lite commercials back in the 1980's.



And of course, the statue will be located at the very top of Miller Park.

According to a Brewers press release, the seats will be in row 422 of the Uecker seats on the Terrace Level.

Yes, obviously we like Uke--though we are aware those of you youngin's reading this may not know who he is.

If you are a baseball fan, you should know about him. If you don't, shame on you.

Congrats to the original "Mr. Baseball" for an honor well earned.
