One of baseball's true legends and a hell of a nice guy. Uecker is one of the last of a dying breed of legendary announcers. It's he and Vin Scully left.

 

Get well soon, Bob!

I love his announcing, but ive certainly never heard anything even close to suggesting that he's "a hell of a nice guy."

Yep. Uecker seems on the air to be nice guy because he's funny and all, but from what I've heard he can be somewhat of an ass.

Uecker needs another surgery to repair a tear found at the site of his valve replacement.

remember when he was in SI in a speedo with braun/hardy/hart? that was awesome.

Surgery went well, per Jsonline.

They mentioned that it went well on last night's telecast too.
