The 1989 baseball comedy filmed in Milwaukee featured Uecker's memorable performance as cynical, and very funny, play-by-play announcer Harry Doyle.

“Juuuust a bit outside!” Milwaukee fans could listen to Uecker broadcast Brewers games for over a half-century, but he showed off his play-by-play skills — and comedic talent — for more of a national audience when he appeared in the 1989 classic “Major League” as Cleveland announcer Harry Doyle.

Major League' was the first acting role ever for Skip Griparis, who played the soft-spoken sidekick to Bob Uecker's memorable Harry Doyle character.
