Baseball hasn't forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven't lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me. Just like old times.

From Bob Uecker

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

From Bob Uecker

Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat.

From Bob Uecker

Sure, women sportswriters look when they're in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word?

From Bob Uecker

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.

From Bob Uecker

Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products.

From Bob Uecker

I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I've enjoyed doing the games. I don't ever go to the park where I don't have a good day. I don't like losing. But I don't think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don't think once.

From Bob Uecker

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.

From Bob Uecker

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

From Bob Uecker

I had slumps that lasted into the winter.
