On Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that Bob Uecker, the longtime voice of the team, had died at age 90. Uecker, a baseball player-turned-broadcaster-turned-pop culture icon, had a sense of humor that made him a household name outside of the Brewers fandom.

Bob Uecker was the voice of his hometown Milwaukee Brewers who after a short playing career earned the moniker "Mr. Baseball" and honors from the Hall of Fame.

Bob Uecker, a commentator who earned the nickname "Mr. Baseball" over more than a half-century of calling games for the Milwaukee Brewers, has died. The former baseball player and actor was 90 years old. His death was announced by the Brewers, who called the sarcastic and self-deprecating commentator a "beloved friend."
