  • Mark Belling's Brewers/Braves Walk of Fame Ballot
    Mark Belling’s Brewers/Braves Walk Of Fame Ballot I have long railed about the exclusion of many Milwaukee Braves and Brewers greats from what passes as the Milwaukee Baseball Hall of Fame, the Walk of Fame at Miller Park. The voting is done by local media and many of its members are young and uninformed, particularly those who work at local sports radio stations. If you are uninformed, you have no business voting. It took years, for example, for Lew Burdette, one of the six or seven greatest players in Milwaukee history, to make it. You need 65 percent of the votes to get in. These are the players already in: BRAVES: Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, John Quinn (general manager), Warren Spahn, Lew Burdette, Johnny Logan, Joe Adcock. BREWERS: Rollie Fingers, Paul Molitor, Robin Yoiunt, Cecil Cooper, Bud Selig, Harry Dalton (general manager), Bob Uecker, Jim Gantner, Gorman Thomas, Harvey Kuenn (manager), Don Money, Teddy Higuera, Geoff Jenkins. Here are my votes, in alphabetical order (Brewers first, then Braves), and a brief reason; JERRY AUGUSTINE He’s been part of the organization for a staggering 45 years, in one capacity or another. Besides, he’s my friend. MIKE CALDWELL He won 102 games for the Brewers over eight seasons and had arguably the greatest season ever by a Brewers starting pitcher when, in 1978, he went 22-9 with an unbelievable 23 complete games and an ERA of a miniscule 2.36. TED SIMMONS He’s in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame for crying out loud. If you’re in the Hall of Fame, shouldn’t you be in the local Walk of Fame??? JIM SLATON He’s the Brewers’ all-time winningest pitcher, winning 117 games despite spending much of his career on losing teams.

  • The Endless Summer of Bob Uecker Sports Illustrated July 1, 2013
    The Endless Summer Of Bob Uecker Sports Illustrated July 1, 2013 A brewers radio broadcast isn't just about the game (thank God). It's a trip inside the beautiful mind of Milwaukee's first fan. By Luke Winn ••• INNING 1 ••• Understand this about the Bob Uecker Experience: Even if you're observing him in his natural habitat, matching his radio voice with his vantage point, you're not sharing the same view. Here he is in the bottom of the first inning of the 53rd game of his 43rd season calling the Brewers on WTMJ, sitting in the visitors' booth at Citizens Bank Park, peering out into a hot haze at dusk. "Looking out at downtown Philadelphia here in the background," Uecker says to listeners on 36 stations in Wisconsin and one on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, as well as on MLB.com and Sirius XM. "Looking alllll the way up the shoreline. Atlantic City, people in the water up there. Boy, what a sight." Uecker's pitch recognition skills were such that he batted .200 in six seasons as a major league catcher, but at 78 he apparently is telescopic, able to spot details more than 60 miles away—or decades back in time. "500 Club in the background," Uecker says, name-checking the classic A.C. nightspot that burned down in 1973. "Boats. Sailfish.... Octopus." Gonna have to take your word for it, Uke. "The pitch, swing and a bouncer hit to first. There's Betancourt. Yuni B. takes care of Ben Revere." I can confirm, from over Uecker's shoulder, that Milwaukee's Yuniesky Betancourt, undistracted by mollusks, logs the out 3-unassisted.

  • ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW with RON BRACKEN Interviewed by Russell Frank Conducted Under the Auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper
    ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH RON BRACKEN Interviewed by Russell Frank Conducted under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists Oral History Program College of Communications Penn State University 2009 Russell Frank: This is an interview with Ron Bracken, long-time sports editor of the Centre Daily Times. Ron Bracken is sitting here in my office in the Carnegie Building on the Penn State campus. And it is June 16, 2009. Why don’t we just start with basic background about you, telling us where you grew up, where you were born, education and all that? Ron Bracken: Okay, born on November 6, 1943. I grew up in Port Matilda, which is just 12 miles from this Penn State campus. Spent a good portion of my life tied to Penn State in one form or another. Education-wise graduated from Bald Eagle High School in 1961; spent two years as a student here at Penn State, and then got married and went into the job market, and found my way to the back door of the Centre Daily Times one day, and that’s how the career was born. The time I was here at Penn State I hadn’t taken any journalism courses, had never written a newspaper article, so until I went to work for the CDT, the very first story I had ever written was the one I wrote for them. Frank: So where did the interest come from? Bracken: Well, I’d always been interested in sports all my life. I mean I was a sports junkie.
