Perhaps our most beloved Wisconsinite, the same man on- and off-air. Although the Brewers retired Number 50 in 2005 in honor of his then-50 years in baseball, he went on to actually broadcast Brewer games for over 50 years, through this past season – reporting in all but the first year that the team has been in existence. One of the few primarily “local” broadcasters – the Dodgers’ Vin Scully is only other who comes immediately to mind – known and loved nationwide. He has arguably been more important to the soul of the franchise than any single player. If the Brewers had a Mount Rushmore, his would be one of the images. For years to come and for generations of Brewer fans, listening to a Brewer broadcast won’t seem quite “right.”
You were always front row. You yourself never missed a tag. Rest in Peace.
