The world lost a baseball legend in January when Milwaukee Brewers announcer Bob Uecker died aged 90. He was the voice of the Brewers for over five decades and a late-night staple on Johnny Carson. He also did stints in movies and television.
We're certain the Brewers and MLB will do something to honor Uecker this season (in fact, this writer got tickets for Brewer's opening day just to be there for it).
The Wisconsin Assembly recently introduced and passed a resolution to honor Uecker and one state representative botched Uecker's famous home run call.
WATCH:
While introducing a resolution honoring the late Bob Uecker, Wisconsin State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde, a Democrat, fondly recalls listening to Uecker's signature home run call "Up, up, and away!"

He had one job.
Maybe he was thinking of his beautiful balloon.

This so totally dates us, but that's the first thing this writer thought of, too.
And now that darned song is stuck in her head.
Democrat lawmaker thinks that Uecker’s signature home run call was the Superman. Tells me he’s a guy that’s watched a Brewers game in his life. All the Democrats are frauds.

LOL. The memers never fail.
Personally, I’m a big fan of Ueck’s signature line from the Miller Lite commercial: “I must be in the aisle seat!” https://t.co/4S6Ujjts5k
