It turns out that Uecker was a bad major league catcher but an excellent play-by-play man. He was cast in the NBC sitcom called Mr. Belvedere, which was based on his guesting on The Tonight Show. He later starred in a 1989 film called Major League. He continues to do play-by-play for the Brewers to this day!
