Bob Uecker Quotes

On TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it Picture Quote #1

Any teammate of mine that had a kid and a boy that was capable of playing baseball, I think I set a terrific example of ‘Don’t do this’ and ‘Don’t do that.’ And that’s one of the things that I’m most proud of Picture Quote #1

I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don’t even get printed Picture Quote #1

Baseball hasn’t forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven’t lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me. Just like old times Picture Quote #1

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs Picture Quote #1

I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I’d put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don’t have to do that, because catchers’ mitts are more like first baseman’s gloves Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Before broadcasting for 50-some years, I did TV, played 10 years in the big leagues, won a world championship - and played a big part in that, too, letting the Cardinals inject me with hepatitis. Takes a big man to do that Picture Quote #1

Phil Niekro and his brother were pitching against each other in Atlanta. Their parents were sitting right behind home plate. I saw their folks more that day than they did the whole weekend Picture Quote #1

People don’t know this, but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it! Picture Quote #1

I remember one time I’m batting against the Dodgers in Milwaukee. They lead, 2 - 1, it’s the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two out and the pitcher has a full count on me. I look over to the Dodger dugout and they’re all in street clothes Picture Quote #1

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn’t hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me. Depending on the weight and model I was using at that time - I would say eight to 10 cookouts Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Hey, I think it’s easy for guys to hit .300 and stay in the big leagues. Hit .200 and try to stick around as long as I did; I think it’s a much greater accomplishment. That’s hard Picture Quote #1

They broke it to me gently. The manager came up to me before a game and told me they didn’t allow visitors in the clubhouse Picture Quote #1

I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn’t appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though Picture Quote #1

I spent three of the best years of my life in 10th grade Picture Quote #1

I had slumps that lasted into the winter Picture Quote #1

Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products Picture Quote #1

I was acting when I was playing baseball Picture Quote #1

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball? Picture Quote #1

When I looked at the third base coach, he turned his back on me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I make fun of situations and try and find the humor in things, but it’s never at the expense of the other guy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sure, women sportswriters look when they’re in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word? Picture Quote #1

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up Picture Quote #1
