“Juuuuuust a bit outside”. That was the famous line by Bob Uecker in the classic baseball comedy Major League. This is Uecker’s 1963 Topps baseball card. At the time he was Joe Torre’s backup catcher with the Milwaukee Braves. Uecker’s major league career was a little better than he joked about after it ended, but he was a career backup. He was generally regarded as a decent defensive catcher, but in 1967, his final season, he led the National League in passed balls, despite playing only 59 games, and rode that one horrible season into a career as a comedian and actor. He used to appear regularly on The Tonight Show and Johnny Carson dubbed him “Mr. Baseball”. He is now a Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster and played the Cleveland Indians’ broadcaster in the movie mentioned above.
