Inspiring Us: Bob Uecker

This week, we remember the legendary Bob Uecker—former MLB player, broadcaster, and a Hall of Fame humorist.

"The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up."

His wit reminded us that baseball is as much about joy as it is about skill. RIP, Mr. Baseball—you’ll always be in the Hall of Fun.

Every Little Leaguer dreams of making it to the “Show.” For a lucky few, that dream becomes reality:

  • Todd Frazier: Toms River hero of the 1998 championship.

  • Jason Varitek: Played in the LLWS, College World Series, and MLB World Series.

  • Gary Sheffield: Little League standout turned MLB slugger with 509 career homers.
