Legendary Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker passed away earlier this week, and former Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy went on “The Ricky Cobb Show” to honor him.
Lucroy spent the first six and a half seasons of his 12-year career in Milwaukee, which meant that he got a chance to form a solid friendship with the broadcasting great. From the beginning of his career, Lucroy noticed that Uecker had a phenomenal sense of humor. During his first major league camp in 2006, he had a hysterical interaction with Uecker, who was a former MLB catcher himself.

No sport’s success is more contingent upon individual star power than American basketball. That is one reason why the NBA and men’s college basketball are struggling to keep pace with the popularity and growth of other sports. Viewership for the NBA is down 48% since 2012.
The NBA’s one-and-done rule, which requires players to spend only one year in college, has prevented collegiate males from emerging as household names while in school. Players go pro before fans learn their first name.
