About the book

Celebrate the life of Bob Uecker with this coffee-table book

Updated and expanded: 32 new pages. The first edition of this book went to press just weeks after Bob Uecker died in January 2025. This 176-page edition adds the story of what came next, from the tributes that poured in across baseball to the ways Milwaukee keeps finding to say thank you.

For 54 summers, Bob Uecker was the sound of Brewers baseball. To the rest of the country he was Mr. Baseball, the nickname Johnny Carson hung on him, and nobody ever questioned it. This hardcover from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel tells the whole story: the .200-hitting catcher who turned six big-league seasons into a lifetime of material, and the Hall of Fame broadcaster whose "Get up, get up, get outta here, gone!" drifted out of radios on Wisconsin porches for half a century.

The Journal Sentinel's writers and photographers covered Ueck for decades, and their archives fill these pages with rare photographs and stories from the booth. He made losing funny and he made summer better. This is the book that shows how.

Hardcover, 176 pages, made to sit out where Brewers fans gather.

The Bob Uecker tribute book is beautifully written, sharing so many special Uecker moments. The picture on the cover is how I last remember him. Sitting alone on the bench in the dugout. Thanks for wonderful memories Bob Uecker.

Perfect Father’s Day surprise!!
My husband loved this Bob U Book! Me too!

After my husband opens it on Father’s Day I’ll let you know

Susan Molkenthen

Love the book! It came quicker than anticipated and I was worried about the delivery envelope (it got a little wet) but the book was fully wrapped in plastic and undamaged.

Fantastic. Loved it

"Bob Uecker" & "Perfect!" are both perfect!

My two recent purchases, "Bob Uecker" & "Perfect!" (Indiana college football) are outstanding books. Both feature newspaper articles about their respective subjects plus the most outstanding photography. Great reading and great browsing.

Amy Leonhardt

As a big fan of Mr. Baseball, I was very excited to get this book. I found a lot of statistics about Bob Uecker that I did not know. It was a great book to read and the pictures are wonderful! It is, and will remain a fantastic coffee table book. Great job!!
