Damnit - from news -
Uecker recalled signing with the Braves organization in 1956 for a $3,000 bonus. “That bothered my dad at the time because he didn’t have that kind of dough,” Uecker said. “But he eventually scraped it up.”

He was hilarious. He didn't like to brag, but he led the league "3 years ->
running in past balls". I loved Uke!

Him. Jack Buck and Jimmy Dudley were the light of my youth. Nothing better
than listening to baseball on my transister radio.

How weird is that? someone here posted a link to an Uecker bit on Youtube..
a couple days ago? so I've just watched some of the clips from "Major League" in the last 48 hours. Funny stuff "Listen to the roar of the crowd" sticks his microphone out of the booth to a sparsely populated grandstand... Yep, loved the persona, a we laugh with you not against you guy...

I swear this has happened multiple times recently.
Lounge references a celebrity/athlete from yesteryear, and within days, said person croaks. Beware the Lounge curse, aging stars.
