Fans attending Opening Day for the Milwaukee Brewers will be treated to a special tribute honoring one of the most beloved figures in franchise history.

The Brewers announced Monday that a preview of a new documentary celebrating the life of legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker will be shown following the club’s season opener.

The preview will take place immediately after Milwaukee’s matchup with the Chicago White Sox on March 26 at American Family Field.

The film, titled “Ueck,” has been in development for more than two years and chronicles the colorful life and career of the longtime Brewers voice.

Fans inside the stadium will be encouraged to remain in their seats after the game for a 20-minute preview segment, marking the documentary’s first public showing.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the project was produced by Milwaukee-based production company September Club, which began following Uecker during Spring Training in 2023.

Throughout the process, filmmakers captured interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and personal moments that highlight his decades-long impact on baseball and the Milwaukee community.

Uecker himself participated heavily in the project before his passing in January 2025. The film also features contributions from family members and longtime friends who reflect on his legacy both in and outside of baseball.

“From the very beginning, this project was about honoring Bob Uecker with the care, respect, and gratitude he deserves,” said producer Barry Poltermann, a co-founder of September Club.

“Bob’s story is so deeply woven into the fabric of Milwaukee, the Brewers and this ballpark,” Poltermann said.

“To share the first public glimpse of the film at American Family Field on Opening Day, surrounded by Brewers fans, is meaningful for everyone who worked on it,” Poltermann said.

“We’re humbled by the trust placed in us to help tell his incredible story.”

A full theatrical release of “Ueck” is planned for later this summer, though additional details regarding its rollout are expected to be announced at a later date.

Uecker’s connection to Milwaukee and the Brewers spanned generations. Born in the city, he first reached the Major Leagues with the Milwaukee Braves and finished his playing career with a lifetime .200 batting average.

While his playing days were relatively brief, Uecker became a household name thanks to his quick wit and self-deprecating humor.

He spent 54 years calling games for the Brewers, building a reputation as one of the most recognizable voices in the sport while also appearing in television shows, films, and memorable national commercials.

For Brewers fans, the Opening Day preview will serve as an early look at a documentary celebrating a figure whose voice and personality became synonymous with baseball in Milwaukee.
