The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 6 honors the life and legacy of Robert George Uecker, affectionately known as Bob Uecker or "Mr. Baseball," who passed away on January 16, 2025, at the age of 90. Uecker had a remarkable 69-year career in professional baseball, primarily as the radio broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers for 54 years, making him one of the longest-tenured broadcasters in Major League Baseball history. His engaging style and humor brought joy to fans, and he became a beloved figure in the sport, known for his appearances on The Tonight Show and his memorable roles in television and film, including the sitcom Mr. Belvedere and the movie Major League.

The resolution highlights Uecker's numerous achievements, including his induction into various halls of fame and his philanthropic efforts supporting organizations like the ALS Association and the Make a Wish Foundation. It acknowledges his contributions to baseball, broadcasting, and entertainment, as well as his impact on the community. The Wisconsin Legislature expresses its condolences to Uecker's family and friends while celebrating his enduring legacy, which will be commemorated through planned celebrations and the creation of a Uecker Experience at American Family Field.
