2025-They died this year

[Slowpoke Catracho]

RIP Bob Uecker:

Uecker and Gibson got fined by the Cards for messing up their team photo.

A little story:

Bob Uecker once went to the mound to talk to Bob Gibson. Gibson barked,
"What are you doing out here?"
Uecker replied, “Oh, nothing, just going out to talk to Curt Flood in center."

One of my favorite Bob Uecker quips: On signing with the Braves for $3,000: “That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough to pay out. But he eventually scraped it up.”

another one: “You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year. Unfortunately, I had been in the Majors for two years at the time.”
