Brewers Celebrate Bob Uecker's Legacy on Aug. 24

The Milwaukee Brewers have announced a 'Celebration of Life' event for legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker, scheduled for August 24 at American Family Field, coinciding with their game against the San Francisco Giants. Uecker, who passed away in January at the age of 90, spent 54 years as the voice of the Brewers. The event will include a pre-game program hosted by Bob Costas, featuring rare videos and special guests, with in-game tributes such as a unique lapel pin giveaway and Uecker-themed baseballs and bases. Proceeds from a 50/50 raffle will benefit charities supported by Uecker, including the Wounded Warrior Project and the ALS Association. The Brewers have previously honored Uecker with tributes during their home opener, and this event aims to bring fans together to celebrate his lasting impact on the team and community.
