Brewers 85-Year-Old Announcer Showers In Champagne, Smokes Stogies With The Team

[Vegas]

The man you see in the image above and the video below is a man by the name of Bob Uecker, otherwise known as “Mr. Baseball”, which is a nickname that was given to him by none other than legendary The Tonight Show host Johnny Carson.

Mr. Baseball is the play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers and has held that title since the year 1971. For a little further perspective on just how long ago that was, Richard fucking Nixon was President of the United States when Uecker started calling games for the Brewers. That, folks, is called job security.

And after Uecker’s beloved Brewers secured a National League Wild Card berth on Wednesday night following their 9-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, the clearly still-young-at-heart announcer found himself in the thick of the celebrations, getting doused in champagne as he toted around a stogie that he desperately tried to keep dry.

That's awesome. Love Uecker.

He is a living legend that has been calling games for Milwaukee since Counsell was an infant. ...And throughout that time he hasn't had nearly enough of those celebrations. You bet your ass the organization is going to get him in on every celebration they can. ...And hopefully we can get the ultimate celebration in before his time on Earth expires.

...For Uecker!
