The Major League Baseball community is mourning the loss of Bob Uecker, the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers, who died Thursday at the age of 90.

Uecker died after a battle small cell lung cancer since early 2023.

To many, he was simply “Mr. Baseball.” To others, he was the real-life adaptation of the fictitious play-by-play announcer for the Cleveland Indians, Harry Doyle, in the 1989 movie “Major League.”

In honor of the late Uecker, here is one last edition of “Teepee Talk” and some of his most memorable lines from the comedy.

“Just a bit outside! Tried the corner and missed.”

“Ball four! Ball eight! Low, and he walks the bases loaded on 12 straight pitches. How can these guys lay off pitches that close?

The iconic delivery is still referenced today when rookie Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) stepped in against the Yankees only to be rudely welcomed.

Die-Hard Night

“Just a reminder, fans, comin’ up is our “Die-Hard Night” here at the stadium. Free admission to anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians won a pennant.”

One hit?

Nothing like voicing your true feelings about the outcome of the game, while the mic is still on.

Harry Doyle : So the Tribe drops its third straight on this trip, 6-1 to the Rangers. For the Indians, one run on. Let’s see, one hit, that’s all we got? One (g-damn) hit?
Monte whispering: You can’t say (g-damn) on the air.
Harry Doyle : Don’t worry, nobody is listening anyway.

Judging by the attendance …

Nothing like taking a swipe for the lack of support for a team which is starting to turn things around.

“In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.”

Nose hair comment

“Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor.”

Father-son antics

“This guy threw at his own son in a father son game.”

From The Associated Press:

But Uecker’s comedy was just a part of his abilities. His warm storytelling and delivery made Uecker a natural to become one of the first color commentators on network TV broadcasts in the 1970s with ABC. In the ‘90s, he teamed up with Bob Costas and Joe Morgan for the World Series.

From there, Uecker reached most households as one of the Miller Lite All-Stars in popular commercials for the beer brand based out of Milwaukee and Uecker later launched his TV acting career in 1985 on the ABC sitcom, “Mr. Belvedere.”

Uecker played George Owens during the successful 122-episode run of the series that lasted six years, as the head of the family and sports writer in a home that brings in a butler who struggles to adapt to an American household.
