I met Al in Maui. He was getting ready to play tennis. I was registering for golf. I saw him and said “Al Michaels!!! How the hell are ya?” Like I knew him for years. Listening to him for so many years I thought I did. He was as nice as could be even after my verbose salutation. We spoke for about 5 minutes. What a great guy. GOAT.
I met and spoke with Bob Uecker when I was sixteen working at a sports bar in Milwaukee. It was nice that he took time and talked to a bunch of kids. Pretty cool.
At football games every time Howard Cossell spotted a team mascot he would say "Hey, there is Bob Uecker !!!" Then in one game, after Cossell did it the mascot removed his head and there was Bob Uecker in disguise. Unbeknown to Cossell they had meticulously prepared the prank to get him and for the first time in years Cossell was speechless !!! 🤣😂😆 Uecker tells that anecdote in his book Catcher On The Wry.
This is what is missing from todays sportscasters. Personality and a sense of humor. The majority of the guys today are boring, and aren't good at telling a story or a joke.

bob uecker is an american treasure.
Al Michaels is a national treasure. Silky voiced, funny as hell, smart, knowledgeable, entertaining. GOAT.
and how rare for a conservative to be entertaining.
Yep...class.

I looked up the word truculent
Eucker is is correct. There's even a picture of Cosell following the definition!

I remember when Al Michaels joined the Giants broadcasting crew in 1974 -- he was just so good. I wish he were still announcing baseball.
That wind in the background! 😮

4 thousand stories of Bob uecker.
It looks as though there's a storm brewing outside the studio.
Look for Artie Lange and
Norm McDonald story about
Bob Uecker!
The best story ever
@@davidpollak685 True lol. I love that those two legends were friends.

Al Michaels has not slipped with the passage of time. He’s still a great announcer and storyteller.
& they're leftist leaning pickel sniffers...
@@fobbitoperator3620 Now that was funny 😄
@@riptheripper9060 Couldn't resist....
I hear ya, I still miss the Scooter broadcasting
If only we could find the video of that game! Truculent!
"Alright that's nice, thanks Al, & hey...DOWN IN FRONT!"
Lovely weather lol
Good stories! Surprising that Cosell did not understand bunting very well.
These are funny but they’re such G rated stories. Norm Macdonald’s Uecker stories seem funnier to me because he keeps in the filthy parts
