Does Bob Uecker still announce? How many games has Bob Uecker called?

Robert George Uecker is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) player turned sportscaster, comedian, and actor from the United States.

At 89 years old, Bob Uecker is still going strong in his 53rd year as a Brewers broadcaster, calling home games for WTMJ-AM (620), making him the second-longest tenure among active major league baseball broadcasters (after Kansas City Royals broadcaster Denny Matthews).

Bob Uecker began a broadcasting career after retiring and has been a play-by-play announcer for Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcasts since 1971. Uecker became well-known for his self-deprecating wit and was a regular guest on late-night talk shows in the 1970s and 1980s, earning the nickname “Mr Baseball” from TV talk show host Johnny Carson.

Bob Uecker was named Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year five times (1977, 1979, 1981, 1982, and 1987) by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and he was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2011.

In 2001, Uecker was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. In 2003, he received the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Ford C. Frick Award, which is given to a broadcaster each year for “major contributions to baseball.” His self-deprecating and humorous speech was a highlight of the ceremony.
