Uecker's Spirit Lives On: Jackets Honor Legend in World Series
24 Oct
Summary
- Announcers wear Bob Uecker's jackets during the World Series.
- Uecker broadcasted for Brewers for over five decades.
- Tributes continue for the legendary voice of the Brewers.
Bob Uecker's presence is deeply felt by the Milwaukee Brewers and their fans as the team competes in the 2026 postseason. For Game 1 of the World Series against the Rays, announcers in the Milwaukee broadcast booth sported Uecker's iconic jackets.
Play-by-play announcer Jeff Levering, along with three colleagues, chose to wear jackets that once belonged to Uecker. He noted Uecker's pervasive influence in Milwaukee, stating, "You can't go two steps without thinking about Ueck in this city."
Uecker was the voice of the Brewers for more than five decades before his passing in 2025 at the age of 90. His legacy continues to be celebrated, particularly through Levering's notable broadcast call when Milwaukee secured its first pennant in 44 years. Further tributes are anticipated should the Brewers achieve their first franchise championship.
