What’s the best way to catch a knuckleball?

As a lifelong Milwaukee Brewers fan, Bob Uecker has always been more than "Mr. Baseball" to me—he’s been a symbol of resilience, humor, and authenticity. From his playing days to his iconic role as the voice of the Brewers, Uecker’s life and career have taught me that success isn’t always about being the best on the field—it’s about finding your passion, staying true to yourself, and embracing life’s quirks with a sense of humor.

I still treasure the autographed baseball I got from spring training in Arizona during a family trip to visit my grandparents. That ball reminds me of Uecker’s unique ability to connect with fans, not just as a broadcaster but as a person who understood the heart of the game.

One of my favorite quotes from Uecker is, “The best way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.” That humor underscores an important life lesson: sometimes, you just have to roll with life’s unpredictability and not take yourself too seriously, like when we dressed up in “Uecker” jackets to celebrate my good friend, Tim’s 40th birthday!

Bob Uecker’s story reminds me that even when life throws you curveballs—or knuckleballs—you can always find a way to turn them into something meaningful.

Rest in peace, Ueck!
