Getting your player ready...
Bob Uecker has made a 40-year career out of delighting baseball fans with his self-deprecating sense of humor. Even facing heart surgery at the end of the week, that didn’t change. The 75-year-old Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer will have his aortic valve replaced Friday morning, and will be away from the team for up to three months while recovering. Uecker said he’ll be watching and listening to games during his absence. “Winning’s great, losing’s bad, and when they lose, I feel bad,” Uecker said. “I hate it. I played. Well, I didn’t play, but I sat around.” The Associated Press
