If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter. Bob Uecker
I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don't even get printed. Bob Uecker
I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I've enjoyed doing the games. I don't ever go to the park where I don't have a good day. I don't like losing. But I don't think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don't think once. Bob Uecker
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. Bob Uecker
I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn't appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though. Bob Uecker

After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else. Bob Uecker
I make fun of situations and try and find the humor in things, but it's never at the expense of the other guy. Bob Uecker
Career highlights? I had two - I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets. Bob Uecker
Let's face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can't resist. Bob Uecker
Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat. Bob Uecker
I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase. Bob Uecker
