Grandpa used to sit in the kitchen in his underwear listening to Ueck on the little radio they had. He'd fall asleep there in his chair sometimes. Farmers work long hours, right?
I remember driving around with my dad in his truck in the summer listening to Uecker. Or listening on the radio in my room, trying to stay up, but usually failing. I remember some County Stadium trips. We were there when my favorite player, Paul Molitor, returned as a Blue Jay. Summer trips to Brewer games were our family vacations.
I got to watch them win the pennant with my 12 year old son, my older brother, nephew, cousin and his kids...Brewers are family.
Cool thread. I'm going to text my dad now and thank him for having Uecker on in his truck way back then in the 90s...
