Twins broadcaster Cory Provus honors late mentor Bob Uecker by [[Bobby Nightengale]]
“It was like this almost 11x17 spiral bound book,” Provus said. “It probably had 185, 190 pages, and I had to carry that. I had to fill that out every day. I would write the names, the numbers, the defense, the starters. … He taught me his way of scoring and to this day, that’s how I score. “In a blowout, when a runner will take second base on indifference, as Bob Uecker would say and write in his scorecard, ‘Who cares?’ He would put a ‘WC.’ ”
WC - "Who Cares"
The Brewers hosted an invitation-only celebration of Uecker’s life at the Miller High Life Theater in downtown Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
This sounds like a true sendoff!
On Sunday, when Willi Castro homered in a blowout Twins loss, Provus paid homage to Uecker’s home run call:“Castro in the air to right. Hey, get up, get up! Get outta here! Gone!” Provus said on the Twins TV broadcast.
"Hey, get up, get up! Get outta here! Gone!”
