Spent the last three innings listening to Bob Uecker today. Much like my experience with Jon Miller, it was pleasant to listen to one man do a game solo.
Never mind Uecker’s beer commercial persona, he calls a good game. Sure he’s a homer – got a little to excited on a fly ball – but he also razzed the fans after the Mets scored in the eight basically saying “calm the hell down everyone we have two more at bats.” Maybe it was something like “what are you booing for?” but the message was the same.
It’s always a pleasure to hear a game without endless in-inning commercials (I only percieved one, for a sausage!) and without some schmoe telling you “23 Skidoo And Bobby Abreu” or whatever nonsense Sterling has this week….and because I like to razz Howie Rose, I actually believed the attendance figures. 22 straight sellouts for the Brewers!
