To the world, Bob Uecker was the voice of the Brewers, a Baseball Hall of Famer, an entertainer, an icon. To Christian Yelich, he was a best friend.

The Milwaukee Brewers say they will honor Bob Uecker at American Family Field next summer. The longtime broadcaster, who also developed a national following for his work on television and in movies, passed away this week at age 90. His family said Uecker suffered from lung cancer.
