Just over a month after shortstop Willy Adames left the Milwaukee Brewers and signed with the San Francisco Giants in free agency, legendary Brewers broadcast Bob Uecker died at the age of 90. Like many across the Milwaukee and MLB communities, the passing of Uecker hit hard for Adames. Uecker, a Milwaukee native, regularly frequented the Brewers clubhouse, and was a staple voice and presence for the organization.
Though Adames had already departed for the Giants when Uecker passed, he reached out to people in Milwaukee to attend Uecker's funeral. But the funeral was just a small ceremony for family, so Adames did not get to attend.
