What is true is that the hitters rule the roost, and too many people whose love of the game goes no deeper than a Bob Uecker long ball are bent as best they can on keeping the hitters in power."Uecker, Uecker, Uecker, Uecker's his name; should be in the Hall Of Fame. It's the Bob Uecker show."

You won't believe this, but there was one Hall of Fame pitcher who couldn't get Bob Uecker out with an arrest warrant. "We tried everything," lamented then-catcher Jeff Torborg. "Bob Uecker owned Sandy Koufax." (You can look it up - The Ol' Ueck hit .400 lifetime against Koufax.)
