When Bob Uecker was in the clubhouse and on the field during the Milwaukee Brewers' NL Central championship celebration in September he was wearing a familiar hat. It wasn't a Brewers or championship hat.

Uecker entertained fans in the booth, but also found success on the diamond as a member of the world champion 1964 St. Louis Cardinals and the silver screen, having starred in numerous Hollywood films.

Bob Uecker, a former baseball catcher, actor and longtime Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster, died Thursday, the Brewers announced. He was 90. Uecker had small-cell lung cancer and was diagnosed in 2023, his family said.
