Bob Uecker is one of Milwaukee's largest legends. Soon, that won't just be a figurative phrase.
Mr. Baseball, the voice of the Brewers on the airwaves for more than a half-century, is being honored with an 80-foot-by-100-foot mural in downtown Milwaukee, Milwaukee Downtown Business Improvement District No. 21Â announced in a Thursday, May 14 news release.
While Uecker wore many hats, the mural will depict one most dear: Being the Crew's play-by-play announcer.
âBob loved Milwaukee, and greatly appreciated the connection he had with the city,â Bob Uecker Jr. said in the news release. âThe communityâs gesture to commemorate that connection is deeply touching. This mural will serve as a reminder of the enduring relationship between the two.â
The Wintrust Financial Center's ownership group, with support from BID No. 21 and Visit Milwaukee, has commissioned artist Mauricio Ramirez â who was also behind the three-story-tall Giannis Antetokounmpo mural in downtown Milwaukee â to create the Uecker piece on the north façade of 731 N. Jackson St.
âItâs a huge honor to create a mural celebrating Bob Uecker,â Ramirez said in the release. âWhat he means to Milwaukee and to sports broadcasting is incredibly important. I hope this mural reflects the pride and lasting impact he gave to so many people.â
Besides broadcasting, Uecker was a former major-leaguer himself, a film and television icon, a veteran and much more. He died in January 2025 at age 90 after a private battle with small-cell lung cancer.
Ramirez has already begun working on the mural, which is scheduled to be finished in early June. Upon completion, the release said, a tailgate-themed, ribbon-cutting celebration will be hosted by project organizers, including the Wintrust Financial Center ownership group, BID No. 21, Visit, members of the Uecker family and the Brewers.
The mural is 80 feet by 100 feet.
Bob Uecker is being honored for his significant contributions as the voice of the Brewers for more than 50 years.
The mural is located in downtown Milwaukee.
