Quotes from Bob Uecker

On TV the people can see it. On radio you've got to create it.

I signed a very modest $3,000 bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee. And my old man didn't have that kinda money to put out.

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.

I had a great shoe contract and glove contract with a company who paid me a lot of money never to be seen using their stuff.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965, my baseball card came out with no picture.
