Brewers show Bob Uecker is never far from their thoughts with Stand Up to Cancer cards

Bob Uecker still casts a large shadow over the Milwaukee Brewers.

A former major league catcher, Uecker transitioned into the broadcast booth following his playing days. He became the Brewers play-by-play broadcaster in 1971, remaining with the team until he died of small-cell lung cancer in 2025.

Although he may be gone, Uecker has not been forgotten during the Brewers' run through the postseason. Fans have left beer cans at his statue outside American Family Field. Franchise legend Robin Yount wore a plaid sport coat and Uecker jersey as he threw out the first pitch for Game 1 of the World Series.

His memory has been present with the Brewers players and coaches as well. Every Brewers player wrote Uecker's name on their Stand Up to Cancer cards, showing how much he meant to the players and organization.
