Rest In Peace Mr Baseball, Bob Uecker. [View all]

He was a true gentleman and never insulted anyone but himself.

A few years back, I heard him in an interview where he was asked about his feelings about President Trump? He replied no comment, but did say he didn’t like how Trump treated people around him. Uecker added if you can’t insult yourself, don’t insult others!

Uecker was one of those people who made a mark in the way I carry myself and I never met the man.
