1967 Topps #326 Bob Uecker
About Bob Uecker
1967 Topps #326 is a fourth-series card, and his last Topps card as a player. It shows him with the Phillies, a club he was with only into early June. On June 6, 1967 Philadelphia traded him to the Atlanta Braves for Gene Oliver, specifically to catch Phil Niekro; the knuckleball made him the National League leader in passed balls, which he turned into a lifetime of material about waiting for the ball to stop rolling and picking it up. Two weeks after the trade, on June 21, he hit the only grand slam of his career, off San Francisco's Ron Herbel. His last big-league game came on September 29, 1967.
Robert George Uecker (January 26, 1934 - January 16, 2025) grew up in Milwaukee, left a technical high school there without finishing, and enlisted in the Army in 1954, playing service ball at Fort Leonard Wood and Fort Belvoir with future Cardinals teammate Dick Groat. Out of the service he signed with his hometown Braves in 1956 for a $3,000 bonus, spent six years in their farm system, and reached the majors at 28. He caught six seasons, 1962 through 1967, for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies, nearly always as a backup: 297 games, 146 hits, 14 home runs, 74 runs batted in, and a career average of exactly .200. He was a genuinely good receiver, finishing at .981 in the field, and he was a Cardinal when St. Louis won the 1964 World Series. Released in April 1968, he turned storytelling into a much larger second act: Milwaukee Brewers play-by-play for 54 seasons beginning in 1971, close to 100 appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show - Carson is the one who dubbed him Mr. Baseball - George Owens on Mr. Belvedere, and announcer Harry Doyle in the Major League movies. The National Baseball Hall of Fame gave him its Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting in 2003.
