Milwaukee Brewers: Bob Uecker receives and then donates playoff share

This weekend we found out from Tom Haudricourt about one more person that received a share, long-time Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster Bob Uecker.

The gesture by the team, which look at 85-year-old Uecker as an extension of the roster, floored the long-time broadcaster.

“To include me in that, I couldn’t believe it,” said Uecker. “I said, ‘I don’t believe it. Really?’ I’ve tried to make sure I thanked every one of them.”

The team’s generosity was just the beginning. The Hall-of-Fame broadcaster immediately split the money up among four of his favorite charities.
