The 6 best Bob Uecker Major League quotes to remember after legend’s death

We’re all mourning the loss of Bob Uecker on Thursday, with Mr. Baseball dying at the age of 90 after an incredible life that included an MLB stint, the Brewers’ play-by-play job and an acting career.

And it’s that last one we want to do focus on here with Uecker playing the iconic Harry Doyle in the Major League series of movies. He’s the Cleveland play-by-play man who added so much color (and sarcasm) to the hapless team that turns things around.

So let’s run through some of his best quotes from Major League and Major League 2:

“Just a bit outside!” and “Ball four! Ball eight!”

“Listen to the roar of the crowd … “

“Don’t worry, nobody’s listening anyway.”

The drunk scene

“That baby is definitely going away for the winter.”

“Excuse me for having an opinion, pal!”
