A week after the passing of 54-year Hall of Fame Brewers radio announcer — Bob Uecker one of the most beloved and celebrated American broadcasters, beer pitch men and comedic entertainers of our lives — one of his booth partners for the last nine seasons joins us to capture intimate Uecker essence and experience.

Lane Grindle is a Hastings, Iowa, native and University of South Dakota graduate who started his sportscasting career as a daily radio sports talk host in Yankton and Coyote football and basketball broadcaster. He moved on to the Huskers radio network in Lincoln as a sports host and football sidelines commentator for the University of Nebraska. But it was as the Big Red's play-by-play baseball announcer for a decade that earned Grindle his call to the big leagues to work alongside Uecker in the Brewers booth starting in 2015.

What was it like to meet and work alongside, to the end, one of the funniest and most talented play-by-play announcers ever, who was also the most famous person in Milwaukee and heaped with love and admiration everywhere he went? Stories of Uecker's humor, wisdom, advice, and calls, plus the American sports icons that would drop by the booth.

Lane also shares his stories of another best friend and play-by-play man who battled cancer this past year — Greg Sharpe — the 17-year voice of Huskers football and baseball. Lane was called from the bullpen to fill in for Sharpe for Nebraska' final two football games, at Iowa and in New York for the Pinstripe Bowl.
