Oh. I missed this. RIP Bob. You were smart and hysterically funny at times. Not a terrible baseball player, either.

AP - 'Juuuust a bit outside!' Uecker's acting and broadcasting ability came together in Major League

Milwaukee fans could listen to Bob Uecker broadcast Brewers games for over a half-century. But he showed off his play-by-play skills — and comedic talent — for more of a national audience when he appeared in the 1989 classic “Major League” as Cleveland announcer Harry Doyle. Like many of the characters that made “Major League” a hit, Doyle was a caricature. He wore his hopes and frustrations on his sleeve as the home team bumbled through the start of the season and then stormed into contention. Uecker’s deadpanned delivery made his lines particularly humorous — and added some authenticity to the baseball scenes.
Crap. 2025 already sucks. RIP Harry Doyle, the announcing GOAT who was always, "Juusssst a bit outside..."
