- Synopsis
- What do Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Henry Aaron, and Bob Uecker have in common? Nothing. They were superstars. He was a lifetime .200 hitter. They left the fans cheering. If he was lucky, he left them laughing. But anyone with talent can play major-league baseball. For Bob Uecker, it was a triumph of the human spirit. Now, Bob Uecker tells the whole, never-before-revealed story of his undistinguished career as a catcher with the Braves, Cardinals, and Phillies, his success as a broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers and ABC-TV's Monday Night Baseball, and the incredible fame he has achieved as the star of a national beer commercial.
