Uecker is the voice of summer in Milwaukee. I remember riding around town when I was a kid in the '80s listening to him. We need to appreciate these guys while we still can. There aren't many coming up behind them.
Many or any? They're all so samey. I don't dislike Matt Vasgersian, but he's like a corporate prototype generic play by play guy, and I hear the same thing in every town
Joe Blocks first prime time MLB play-by-play was as Bob's partner. He had the radio voice down, but he also had an extremely dry and sarcastic humor that played well off Bob as well as when Joe was solo. He was too good and Bob is, hopefully, immortal so the Pirates snatched him as their main guy some years back. Joe had personality and I was sad to see him go, he's been the only Brewers radio guy on play by play in years that had both a sharp eye for the field and a sharp tongue other than Bob.
I think Joe is on tv for the Pirates, so I'm assuming he turned his banter down a notch or so.
