We have some sad news to report as WWE Hall of Famer and legendary baseball icon Bob Uecker has passed away at the age of 90. He served as the primary broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB) for 54 seasons.

From WWE.com:

Uecker was a beloved Major League Baseball sportscaster, player, Hall of Fame commentator and earned the nickname Mr. Baseball for the impression he left on America’s pastime. 

WWE audiences will most remember Uecker for his memorable appearances at two of the most iconic Premium Live Events in WWE history. Uecker served as special guest ring announcer for the epic battle between WWE Champion Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III — by far the biggest match of its era. And at WrestleMania IV, the encounter between Uecker and The Eighth Wonder of the World became one of the most enduring images of WWE in the ’80s.

For the lasting impression Uecker left during those two major events, he was inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2010.

We at Wrestling Rumors send our condolences to the entire Uecker family during this difficult time.
