Brewers team principal owner Mark Attanasio said there are plans in the works for ways to honor Bob Uecker, including a big celebration in summer.
Fans began to line the bottom of Uecker's statue outside the ballpark with cans of Miller Lite in a nod to the legendary announcer.
The 1989 baseball comedy filmed in Milwaukee featured Uecker's memorable performance as cynical, and very funny, play-by-play announcer Harry Doyle.
Alex Rodriguez paid tribute to Bob Uecker Thursday night, posting he brought "joy to Cleveland." Was he talking about "Major League"?
Bob Uecker, one of the most beloved figures in baseball history, was 90 years old when he died Thursday. That’s a great number to reach, regardless, but the fact that he was still broadcasting Brewers games last season at his age is a credit to him and his love of the game.
Uecker, who died Thursday at 90, used to sit in the bullpen at Connie Mack Stadium and deliver play-by-play commentary into a beer cup.
Uecker, a baseball icon, television and movie funnyman and Hall of Fame Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer, died Thursday at the age of 90.
Bob Uecker was a famously mediocre Major League hitter who discovered that he was much more comfortable at a microphone than home plate. And that was just the start of a second career in entertainment that reached far beyond the ballpark.
As a catcher for the Milwaukee Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, Uecker hit .200 with 14 home runs. As a Brewers catcher in the mid-2000s, Chad Moeller hit .204 with 14 home runs. In Uecker, Moeller said on Thursday, he found a friend who could needle him with sweetness.
Uecker entertained fans in the booth, but also found success on the diamond as a member of the world champion 1964 St. Louis Cardinals and the silver screen, having starred in numerous Hollywood films.
