Brewers announcer Bob Uecker concussed, hospitalized

Brewers Hall of Fame radio announcer Bob Uecker spent Monday night in a Milwaukee-area hospital after suffering a mild concussion when he was struck by a ball during batting practice Monday night at Miller Park.

The Brewers, on Tuesday, said the 81-year-old Uecker was struck on his forehead by a ball that ricocheted out of the batting cage. Brewers spokesman, Tyler Barnes, said Uecker went on with his radio broadcast of the game between the Milwaukee and Kansas City.

But Uecker began feeling a "bit out of sorts" during the broadcast and was examined by team medical personnel, who detected the mild concussion.
