Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mister baseball, Bob Yucker has passed away at the age
of ninety. Is that a pretty good run?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I think that's pretty good ninety. I think we should
have a Miller light to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yes, I remember those in those commercials. Oh yeah, Oh
my gods. Joe Frazier, dude, you know. And I was
telling you, I was watching when he was on with
Johnny Carson. It was from nineteen seventy six, and he
was talking about Jocketch and a commercial for that, and
I mean, h Zach Attack and I were in there
(00:32):
watching it, and it's just his dry humor. He's uh.
He was perfect on Carson if you ask me, they could.
They were the perfect compliment for each other. But man,
Harry Doyle as the announcer for Major League and you know,
of course with Charlie Sheen, and there was just so
(00:53):
many iconic moments in those movies. I think I don't
know how many. Was there two of those? Three of them?
Major League two? Major League remember two? Two? Was there three? Okay,
Zach Attack, thank you?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Probably, like Jaels, after the first two, you don't pay attention, right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You start going, oh, there's a third and a fourth?
What here is uh, in no particular order, but we'll
go with clip one for uh. This is Harry Doyle
as he was, you know, the guy calling it. You
know it basically his what he is. But in the movie,
if you will, and this is just some of the memories.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Clip one top of the sixth man rookie Sensation, Ricky.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Vaughan on the pitch.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Now Vaughn a juvenile delinquent in the off season and
is major league debut baugh into the wind up in
his first offering, Josh the bit outside. He tried in
the corner and missed all four, all eight. Loan On
has walked the bases loaded on twelve straight pitches.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Boy, how can.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
These guys lay off pitches that close?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I love it so freaking good.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh man, that's just go in the sincerity in which
he was delivering the lines. I mean, you know, they
were obviously stupid, but he did it as if he was.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That was really yeah, ball eight, ball four, ball eight.
I love as well. He's got that Wow that that
it was almost like it was an audio caricature of himself. Yes,
you know what I mean, Like he just he just
made it this huge, this huge thing.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And that's what made him really funny. He was mostly
what he did on camera was making fun of himself.
That's why he was fun so good, so good. Ninety
years old. He had a good run, he was popular,
he had money, and he probably died laughing at something.
So that's the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, And I don't know at the end there, I
don't know if he was sick or I didn't read
anything that he was. If he was, so, I feel
like maybe his quality of life was still good, so
hopefully he hasn't been suffering for multiple years or what
have you. But I did not. I didn't see exactly
how he passed or passed of what did you happen
(03:03):
to see that?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Or No?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I just saw that he was ninety, and I figured
that was why he died.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Right, I mean, yeah, you know, there's always that because
people go, uh, he was ninety. Yeah, but gosh, people
that make it way farther than that. I mean, obviously
it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I try not to pay attention to that unless it's
something like way out of the ordinary. If he got
you know, some odd disease or whatever. Okay, I want
to know, but if you you know, you died, you
were ninety, you know, you had some sort of lung cancer,
your kidney's failed or sid. That's what happens. We age
and we fall apart, and then we go away, and
(03:36):
unless it's out of the ordinary. I try not to
even pay attention to too much of that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, it's probably pretty good to go by. Here's something
else from Major League where he is, of course Harry
Doyle and mister Baseball Bob Youger has passed away at
the age of ninety. But here it is clip two, just.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
A reminder fans about die Hard Night coming up here
at the stadium, free admission to anyone who was actually alive,
has time the Indians want to put it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I wonder too with him because you could feel his
natural humor whenever, especially when you watch him on Carson
or you see him on anything for that matter. But
when you watch him, I wonder if some of those
things were just they just rolled tape and he just
did his thing, just like threw stuff out there, or
(04:24):
they would give him lines and that it would make
him think of saying, oh, you know what I mean, Yeah,
kind of a thing. Gosh so good. More from Major
League as of course, his character's name is Harry Doyle
Clip three, Zach clip three.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's all we got one God. You can't say God
on the air. I don't worry nobody's listening anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I've had a job like that.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, his producer sitting there like next to him. You
can't say, oh did he Wow? You just you kind
of mentioned it, and that's he died of lung cancer.
You know what, though, if you get to a point
in your life, if you have so many hurts and
creeks and pains, and I mean, you get to a
(05:14):
point where they say, that's God's way of allowing you
to loosen your grip on life. You know, when you
start to every day you wake up and it's just
like what am I doing? You know, and you just
start to get to the point where you're like, I'm okay,
what's going ahead? And going because I just don't want
to feel this way anymore, you know, kind of a
thing it feels like. But but I don't know when
(05:36):
he got it, or you know how long he had
it or what have you. But all right, this is
the this is the final clip that we have from
Major League again, mister Baseball, bob Yucker, one of the
grades passing away at age ninety Clip four Zachitect Kitch.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
To Sean swung on and belt to the deep right
Field Thatchos Serreno. That looks like a terminator, only maybe
it was his Hota Stater, or it could have been
the Hibernator. That baby is definitely going away for the winter. Whatever.
For Vaughan, it might be seal Later, He's probably gonna
(06:11):
become a spectator.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's the Sealalator, the Hibernator.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I'm looking at a picture now, Andre the giant strangling
him and his eyes bulging out. He looks so like
Rodney Dangerfield with those giant hands around his neck. Yeah.
But he got involved with we WF back in nineteen
eighty seven as a ring announcer for WrestleMania Uker. Yeah,
and that was like another high note. It's like Bob
Ucker doing WrestleMania, and he was actually really good and
(06:43):
and revered for it. He did a great job.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It feels like and I didn't know about that, but
although that you're bringing it, it kind of rings a bell.
I don't remember, you know, distinctly, anything about it, but
it feels like anything that guy did and people loved
him when he did it. You know what I mean.
It wasn't like he did something to go Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Doing baseball career wasn't all that remarkable. He was a
two hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Hitter, right, you know, catcher.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, played with the let me see here, the Braves,
the Cardinals, and the Phillies during his his time playing baseball,
and then found Marre far more fame and apparently happiness.
In front of a camera and behind the microphone.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He's telling Carson he's like as a javelin thrower, He's like,
the neighbors didn't like that very much. He goes, yeah,
just uh with the sighting, it would just stick right
in their house. Yeah, they just weren't fans of it. Yeah,
you know, and he's real straight faced the whole time.
But Carson kept setting him up and he was knocking
him down. It was it was fun. Man. Hey, Tim
(07:39):
on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines, Welcome
to the show. Thanks for listening. Man. You there, Tim,
there you go, Yeah, there you are. Sorry I couldn't
hear you it first.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Go ahead, Oh okay, thank you. I think one of
the other things about Kre was that he was a
great physical comic comic as well, because there was a
scene in Major League and I don't know if you
remember this one, but he's drinking Jack Daniels wise announcing
because they're absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He's a he's in a wife beater. He's sitting there
and like boxers and a wife beater.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
But he takes the Jack Daniels and he dabs it
behind his ears like it's cologne. And I laughed so
hard I couldn't believe it. I just tears were coming
out of my eyes. And he did that because I'll
bet he did that just just you know, off, just
off the cuff, off script. Yeah, such a hilarious moment.
You know, Jack Daniels colone with Bob Yucker. It's just great.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That is fantastic. He would think that they so in
this day and age, if somebody were to do that
and it became iconic, tim they probably would run with that.
Jack Daniels would.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That's exactly what I'm thinking. Has there ever been a
Jack Daniels cologne?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, should have been.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Could show that clip and launch their whole product line.
You know, it'd just be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So good, so good man. Yeah, rest in peace, Bob
Yucker one of the one of the greatest ever, one
of the greatest ever. Love it, Tim, Thanks thanks man,
Thank you. Ah. In addition to when someone goes like that,
and like you said, it really kind of transcends his
behind the mic stuff, everything that Bob Buker was. In
(09:12):
addition to all that, you just you kind of mark
the day when someone goes like that, you go, that's
part of me, It's part of my That's why we
pay tribute, that's why we have the feelings that we have.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And the worst part for me is losing Bob Youker. Okay,
that's one thing, But then I start thinking about everybody
else who's up there, and I'm like, oh, man, that's
gonna hurt. That's what ever. Since I heard he died,
I'm thinking, who's they go and who's Eastwood is up there?
Hackman is up there? These these guys that I revere
and I just I hate when one goes because you know,
(09:46):
they always tell about three, sometimes it's seven, but there
just always seem to be those coincidental deaths right in
a row, and I I it just discourages me even
thinking about that because so many greats are leaving and
not many greats are coming in to fill the void.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
The two you mentioned there are and one of my
favorite movies, The Unforgiven.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh yes, so you.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mentioned Clinieswood and Gene Hackman, of course, and Hackman being
the the crooked sheriff or whatever he wants. I love that.
He's like, you shot an unarmed man, he should armed himself.
He's what was so good? So is Hackman? Oh my gosh, man, Oh,
you're right, that's gonna be bad.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Even though they're both never done anything that I don't love.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
They're both a million years old, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, it's still out there. Hackman's out there getting his
coffee in the morning and so forth. He's not even
playing the role of being famous now. He's just an
old man in town and that kind of thing. And
I saw Jayleno's out there handing out food and stuff
to firefighters. Oh my gosh, we're losing guys like that.
I know, I know it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
