Bob Uecker Dies: Longtime MLB Announcer, ‘Mr. Belvedere’ & ‘Major League’ Actor & Pitchman Was 90
Bob Uecker died at 90. The Baseball Hall of Famer spent 54 years as a Milwaukee Brewers announcer and starred in 'Mr. Belvedere,' 'Major League' and beer ads.
He and wife Marsha (Ilene Graff) hire debonair English housekeeper Lynn Belvedere (Christopher Hewett), who is proficient as cooking, cleaning and solving the family’s problems. During that show’s run, he also played Harry Doyle, the put-upon homer announcer in the 1989 movie Major League, starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger and others. After a pitch by Sheen’s hot prospect Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn nearly goes all the way to the backstop, Doyle says, “Juuuuust a bit outside — he tried the corner with it.” He repised the role in 1994’s Major League II.
