Brewers announcer Jeff Levering posts amazing tribute to Bob Uecker after his passing

The Milwaukee Brewers and fans of the sport of baseball everywhere are mourning the passing of the legendary Bob Uecker. He's been involved in the game for most of his life in which his MLB playing career began in 1962, broadcasting in 1971, and then movies/tv shows shortly afterwards.

While his voice impacted the lives of millions, the Hall of Famer's legacy stretches well beyond calling ball games, movies, sitcoms, and The Tonight Show. His jokes, storytelling, and the impression he left no matter how long or short of a conversation, made him one of a kind.

Following his passing, one of his radio partners over the past 10 years, Jeff Levering, posted a heartwarming tribute. Levering was one of many to post such a tribute.

Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering posts a heartwarming tribute to Bob Uecker after his passing

Jeff Levering, who calls both radio and TV broadcasts for Brewers games, had the pleasure of working with Bob Uecker over the last decade. While Uecker's ability to broadcast shrunk over the years, a combination of Levering, Lane Grindle, and Josh Maurer were always ready. This team worked extremely well together while still allowing the legend to get on air when possible.

As radio partners, Levering spent a great deal of time alongside Uecker which fostered a strong bond between them. Following Uecker's passing, Levering shared a heartfelt tribute in his honor.

One final memory involving Levering and Uecker was recently shared at MLB.com by Adam McCalvy. The story shared was about how Bob Uecker's final game on air came about. In that write up, McCalvy shared how Levering received a voicemail from Uecker after game two of the 2024 Wild Cards Series, in which Uecker was initially slated to call that game but was unable to at the last second, and voicemails contents said, “Great job tonight. We’ll see you tomorrow.”

The following day, Uecker felt good enough to call the final game of that playoff series. While it didn't end in the Brewers favor, he was brilliant on air as always. Levering has since said that he will never delete that voicemail
