Yes Sir! He was recently locked in the broadcast booth at Miller Park. They had to send workers up on a ladder to get him out. He appeared on the Johnny Carson Show over 100 times. All ad libbed. No fact sheets. He had a TV program called Mr. Belvedear. Yet he never missed calling a Milwaukee game. First with the Braves and then with the Brewers. He had a 17 year gig doing those great commercials for Miller Lite (Had to get permission from Pabst) There is a section of seats that are the furthest away w/an obstructed view in Miller Park. They sell for a buck. The official name? "UECKER SEATS"! He is Milwaukee, born and raised. He is 81 years old and has worked as the voice of the Braves/Brewers for over 40 some years. He has been in basball for 57 years. He grew up watching the Brewers when they were a minor league team. Only Vin Skully has a longer record. You can catch videos of him on youtube.

Bill Veeck was an amazing person. I think he was selling popcorn at Wrigley when Bill Veeck planted the ivy at Wrigley in September of 1937, stringing bittersweet from the top of the wall to the bottom and then planting ivy at the base. Wrigley Field is the only major league park with ivy on its outfield wall. Thus he crated one of the most unique ground rul doubles in MLB.

I'll guess 1st, then I'll google to see if I'm right, but I won't reveal the answer. No fun pretending to be smarter than I am. I'm still trying to figure the most all star appearances. Rod could be, but maybe not cause he missed how many seasons?

If its not A Rod I'll go with Cal Ripken.
All golf balls have the same amount of dimples. I'll give you correct if you're within 15.

I'll go with Hank Aaron since he probably played in quite a few when they had two All Star games each season. And all golf balls don't have the same amount of dimples anymore. They talked about that last week on WSCR Sunday morning golf show.

What active player, players, lol. Knowing Dave likes to use trick questions, he might be looking for a player turned manager or something. Looking more like Arod, I'm still thinking.

I'm just asking guys, does Ivan Rodrigues (sp) still playing? If he is, I'm guessing him.. I thought maybe he was playing for Detroit, can't remember if he retired or not.

That's right Willy. (and other people) It is A-Rod. 14 times an all star pick. And he just hit another tater PEDS FREE, that surpassed the great Willy Mays on the home run list.

Incorrect, and I never google for the answers. better look again, because one of my searches said the dimples very from the years, and the reason for the dimples is for less drag force.
