The Brewers open the season on Thursday at Yankee Stadium, and the organization is still mourning the passing of its legendary voice for 53 years. Uecker died on Jan. 16 at the age of 90 of small cell lung cancer, a diagnosis kept secret from all but his closest inner circle.

The tribute included some photos of Uecker over the years, as well as some of his best calls. Then, Bill Schroeder, a former Brewers player and longtime color commentator who knew Uecker for over 40 years, summed up Mr. Baseball perfectly.

Vinny Capra's first career home run allowed Brewers announcer Lane Grindle to pay perfect homage to late Brewers legend Bob Uecker.
