Bob Uecker, the long-time radio voice of the Brewers, is expected to miss 10 to 12 weeks in the booth to have heart surgery.
From USA Today:
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Kleczka also said they discovered Uecker had a heart murmur in September, and that his conditions worsened. Surgeon Alfred Nicolosi will perform the procedure at Froedtert.
According to the Journal-Sentinel, Uecker said his heart condition had been monitored by Kleczka since September.
“I’ve known about this a long time,” said Uecker, 75. “I was given the OK to travel and exercise, everything I do elsewhere, but some of the health problems have become a little more evident.
“Hopefully, I’ll be ready to go back to work in a relatively short period of time. I’ll miss this. I look forward to coming to the ballpark every day. It’s the highlight of my day.”
We wish Harry Doyle a fast a speedy recovery.
