Going to have to watch Major League tonight in his honor.
R.I P. Mr. Uecker
I’m going to watch a bunch of old Miller Lite commercials on YouTube.

Great seats, eh, buddy!
Every time I go to the store or the mall and it’s crowded and I have to park waaaaaay out I always say “Hmmm must be in the front row”.
Every time someone misses a tag, I hear his voice yelling “He missed the tag! He missed the tag!”
Not to be “that guy”, but Ueck deserves to have his name spelled correctly. It’s “Uecker”. U before E… except after…something, I’m sure.
Similarly, every time a pitcher throws one to the screen, I hear in my head or sometimes say out loud “juuuuust a bit outside”.
The lesson, as always, is that I’m an idiot.
Fixed.
Uecker was a pro to the end. Still funny, too.
I do this every time.
David Lynch, 78
Holy crap.
Two of my favorite films, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart. Both great films, beautiful and brutal at the same time. Lynch was a unique filmmaker.
ETA: I’m gonna watch them tonight.
This day extracts a heavy toll.
