We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

RIP Bob Uecker

I know he was 90, but it hits different.

Indeed... Sad. Inevitable, but sad nonetheless...

Was coming to say the same thing. I generally watch Major League the night before Opening Day. May need to watch it tonight. My favorite line.

I still tuned into Brewers games on MLB package just to listen to him. He will be missed greatly.

Loved his take on catching Phil Niekro's knuckleball. He said it was easy. He would just walk over and pick it up when it stopped rolling.

When I came up to bat in the bottom of the ninth with 3 men on and 2 outs, I would look in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes
