The Milwaukee Brewers have announced plans to honor the late broadcaster Bob Uecker during the 2025 Major League Baseball season by wearing a tribute patch. The team revealed the design of the patch, which will be featured prominently on their jerseys throughout the season, serving as a lasting tribute to Uecker's significant contributions to the franchise and to the sport as a whole.
Bob Uecker, who passed away in September at the age of 90, was synonymous with the Brewers and had a remarkable career that spanned several decades. Following a distinguished playing career that included a championship with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1964 World Series, Uecker transitioned into broadcasting. His voice became a fixture of Milwaukee summers, and he was celebrated not only for his deep connection with the fans but also for his unique blend of humor and storytelling that endeared him to audiences far and wide. The Brewers issued a heartfelt statement regarding Uecker’s passing, acknowledging his role as the 'heart and soul' of the franchise and as a cherished figure in Wisconsin.
Uecker began his tenure as the Brewers' radio play-by-play announcer in 1971 and continued to build an impressive legacy, culminating in recognition from the Baseball Hall of Fame when he was awarded the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003. He was also inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2001. The Brewers will kick off their regular season with a road game against the New York Yankees on March 27, 2025, followed by their home opener against the Kansas City Royals on March 31.
