Every Friday, Stuff We Missed looks to other Milwaukee publications (and beyond) for, well, stuff we missed throughout the week. This week: Bob Uecker singing “Take Bob Uecker Out To The Ballgame”!

• Happy Friday, Milwaukee! Here’s a clip of Bob Uecker singing “Take Bob Uecker Out To The Ballgame,” looped for 10 minutes!

This incredible moment in music history comes from Uecker’s 1987 Wacky World Of Sports video, which features an extended “Uecker’s Greatest Hits” sketch. If you want to hear Mr. Baseball sing bits from “The Bob Uecker Polka” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson”—and believe us, you do—watched the cued-up video below and enjoy. [YouTube]
