    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

    & PRESENT EDITION 014 • MARCH, 2020 FEATURING AND A COLLECTABLE POSTER FROM COLECTIVO COFFEE Exploring The Kid-friendly, Animated Voice-over Work Of Bob Uecker By Matt Wild of Milwaukee Record Milwaukee and Bob Uecker: name a more iconic duo. The ubiquitous “Mr. Baseball” is currently celebrating his 50th year behind the mic. But he’s more than the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers—he is, in the words of DC superhe- ro Cyborg, “a former professional baseball player who played six season in the majors before going on to have a successful career as a sportscaster and actor, starring in many iconic film and TV roles, including Harry Doyle in Major League and George Owens in Mr. Belvedere.” Wait, what? Yes, Uecker’s acting career has brought him in contact with everyone from Charlie Sheen, Scott Bakula (in the truly awful Major League: Back To The Minors), AND an animated kids version of Cyborg. And Batman sidekick Robin. And some obnoxiously adorable puppies. Let’s explore Bob Uecker’s kid-friendly, animated voice-over work, shall we? TEEN TITANS GO! - “BBRBDAY” What happens when the Teen Titans are super stoked for Beast Boy’s birthday party, but Robin wants them to go to HIS birthday party (even though it’s not really his birthday)? The Boy Wonder sweetens the deal by inviting none other than Bob Uecker to his shindig. “Who’s Bob Uecker?” asks Raven. “WHO’S BOB UECKER!” Cyborg exclaims, before running down Ueck’s career highlights. Yes, Uecker is all over this 2018 Teen Titans Go! episode, and he’s brilliant.
