Bob Eucker passed away at the age of 90. Known as "Mr. Baseball", he was a legend of self-deprecating gentle humor who had played catcher in the 50s and 60s for terrible teams and had a lifetime batting average of .200 (which was generously rounded up from .1967-something).
He was the radio man for the Milwaukee Brewers for over 50 years.
Famous he was for his acceptance speech into the broadcasting wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame 20 years ago. It's 18 minutes of straight-faced funny stuff.
And I especially loved him as the cranky radio professional, Harry Doyle, in the Cleveland Indians movie, "Major League". WARNING - some language here not safe for work or small children:
And all the Miller Lite Beer commercials he made (including the famous "Front Row") one:
Thanks, Bob - you made baseball fun.
