Bob Uecker's first career was professional baseball.
He played six seasons in the majors (1962-1967), playing catcher for three different National League teams: Braves (Milwaukee, WI, and Atlanta, GA), Cardinals (St.
Louis, MO), and Phillies (Philadelphia, PA). His batting, never stellar, declined steadily over his career: he finished with a .200 lifetime average. He wrote a humorous autobiography entitled "Catcher in the Wry".
He appeared in a popular series of Lite beer commercials before landing his first movie role. IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
