I didn’t even think to try for Uecker. To be honest, he’s the main reason I follow the Brewers. I’ve listened to him my whole life. He got me through a summer when I interned at the Census Bureau. omg, was it boring there. I would’ve died without mlb audio entertaining me for 3 hours a day.

Did you just send the ball to Miller Park Way? I’m willing to wait months and months.

Uecker has a really quick turnaround. I belong to an autograph request website/database and my return time was pretty typical to what others have experienced.

I sent this right at the beginning of the recent West coast road trip so he probably didn’t get a crack at this ball until Tuesday Aug. 18th and it was in my mailbox on Friday afternoon.

I sent it to:

Bob Uecker
c/o Milwaukee Brewers
Miller Park
One Brewers Way
Milwaukee, WI 53214

When I worked for the Philadelphia Flyers, most of the autographs were, ahem, “invented” by the PR department.

Obviously they have pens there, but I mean, just to be sure they’re not using a sharpie that will fade, do you send along a pen with the ball?

from another site..

where do you get your basbealls from?

If I get a valuable signature I get a Rawlings Official Major League Baseball. I usually get them at a local baseball card shop or at Dicks Sporting Goods. Dicks has them for $16 which includes a protective case. Ive seen a dozen balls wo protective case on ebay for around $130 w shipping.
