Old-time broadcaster with devotion

For a long time Bob Uecker was the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now being over 70 years old doesn't stop him from staying involved within the game of baseball. He makes his special appearances at events, spreading his passion and enthusiasm for the game. His attitude was pleasant for the most part while on the air, but when the Dodgers played pitifully he made off color remarks about the team's performance. His voice on radio and television broadcasts was so influential that he received a part in the "Major League" movies, where he played a bitter sports broadcaster for the Cleveland Indians that suffered from alcoholism when the team was losing. Bob has worked near half a century in baseball. The guy has got spunk and an endearing personality. He would have made a great broadcast duo with Harry Carey. They'd have good chemistry together and be good drinking buddies. Also when players screwed up and made real bone-headed plays the two distinct sports broadcasters would lay into them with criticism. That kind of honesty and outspoken comments of disgust with a team are qualities as a fan you're got to admire. Bob Uecker, a broadcast legend in his own right is a part of countless fans' baseball memories.
