The Milwaukee Brewers held a celebration of life for Bob Uecker on Sunday at American Family Field. A former journeyman catcher in the major leagues, Uecker became one of the best-known personalities in the sport as the Brewers' play-by-play broadcaster for 54 years before passing away at age 90 in January.

Bob Uecker's Hall of Fame broadcasting career began only after the Milwaukee Brewers initially hired him as a scout. Former Brewers owner and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said it didn't take long to realize Uecker might be better suited for a different role.
