Bob Uecker suffered a mild concussion before Monday’s game against the Royals when he was hit in the head by a baseball. The Milwaukee Brewers Hall of Fame broadcaster and TV funnyman was back home Tuesday after spending the night in a hospital as a precaution.
A team spokesman said the 81-year-old Uecker was hit in the head by a baseball during batting practice before Monday night’s game between Milwaukee and Kansas City.
Uecker worked the first six innings of the game on the Brewers flagship radio station, WTMJ, and started feeling dizzy.
Team doctors checked him out and sent him to Froedtert Hospital as a precaution.
