Brewers Win First World Series, Pay Tribute to Late Broadcaster Bob Uecker

Brewers Capture First World Series Title, Honor Late Broadcaster Bob Uecker

The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series championship in franchise history in 2026.

The victory followed a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series and a win over Tampa Bay in the World Series.

The win prompted multiple tributes to Bob Uecker, the longtime Brewers radio announcer who retired in 2024 and died in January 2025.

Brewers captain Christian Yelich dedicated the championship to Uecker in his post‑game remarks after Game 5.

Fox aired an emotional tribute that paired Uecker’s iconic calls with highlights of the 2026 Brewers.

Manager Pat Murphy referenced Uecker during his locker‑room speech, noting a “message” from the late broadcaster.

Uecker’s career included playing as a major‑league catcher and later becoming a Hall of Fame broadcaster, comedian and actor.
