The Brewers honored Uecker with a celebration of life tribute prior to the Brewers-Giants game Aug. 24. The ceremony was hosted by fellow Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Costas, who worked with Uecker on national NBC telecasts.

All the Milwaukee Brewers players wore special tribute uniforms with “UECK” instead of their own names on the back of their jerseys for Sunday’s game.

The memorial program interspersed testimonials with a four-part video that recounted Uecker's life, career and his connection to Milwaukee.
