Somewhere in baseball heaven at a dive bar Bob Uecker is smiling down getting absolutely licked tonight. I'm not even a Brewer fan I must admit. But god dammit does it bring a tear to my chin thinking about all the piss tanks that deserve this is the beautiful state of Wisconsin. As a kid that grew up in Dane County, Verona WI, I often found myself cheering against a lot of my buddies. I am a Cubs fan for whatever reason, that's the team my dad put me on. Whatever, that's baseball. But after a win like this it gives me flashbacks of pulling up to my buddy Spencer Schultz's house on Mark Dr in my 10 speed Mongoose and his dad the late and great Jeff Schultz would just be half cocked listening to a matinee via the radio. He worked night shifts at the US Postal Office Hub in Madison.. and by the time he woke up from a dirt nap, ate breakfast, and had a cold one or 6 for good measure, he would have the game on the radio dial out in the garage listening to the man, the myth, the legend Robert Bob Uecker. It was then as a 12 year old kid I realized how special Ueker was. That true Wisconsinites and Brewer fans such as Jeff would much rather listen to the radio vs watch the game. Or even have both going type of thing. I didn't even want to booze tonight but the more I think about it, and the more I think about my buddies father, who hammered room temp PBR with the best of em, I might have to go grab a 6 pack. I can't even fathom how happy Schultz must be right now. An iconic hometown legend and salt of the earth type chin. Cheers Jeff, Cheers Schultz. I bet at that Dive Bar right now Jeff and Bobby are having more than a bakers dozen. and to everyone back in Wisconsin, I love you. Go enjoy it. You earned it. Shoutout Spike Riley too💛💙🍻. Keeper pinned boys!! -JS
