At his Hall of Fame-induction ceremony in Cooperstown in 2003, Bob Uecker delivered a memorable acceptance speech that in essence was a stand-up comedy act. Forty-four Hall of Fame players on the stage behind him were reduced to tears over Uecker’s self-deprecating humor, and the audience of some 18,000 roared with laughter. Uecker, who died early Thursday at 90, completely stole the show from former players Gary Carter and Eddie Murray, who were inducted into the players’ wing that day.
