@MrNubbz as a Clevelander, I thought you were going somewhere else first. Thanks for giving me the honor. His all-time best as a NEO kid born and raised.

Harry Doyle
For Clevelanders like @SuperMario and I, he will always be Harry Doyle.  He was absolutely perfect for that role and honestly made that movie work.  Just a few of my favorites:

  • "Just a bit outside" (when the pitch was about 10' out of the strike zone)
  • "Ball four . . .  Ball eight . . . walked the bases loaded on 12 pitches"
  • "In case you haven't noticed, and judging by attendance, you haven't".  
  • "Way to think about the family first"
Now I want to watch that tonight.

lol.. the bold one might be my favorite. He absolutely made that movie.  Just a bit outside became a one liner every kid that was remotely involved in baseball in Ohio repeated over and over. I'm definitely throwing this on in my office right now lol.

Harry Doyle: Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor.
-------------------------------------------------------
Harry Doyle: One hit, that's all we got? One goddamn hit?
Assistant: You can't say goddamn on the air.
Harry Doyle: Don't worry, nobody is listening anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Harry Doyle: The post-game show is brought to you by...
[searches through his papers]
Harry Doyle: Christ, I can't find it. To hell with it.
------------------------------------------------------------
Eddie Harris: You know, you might think about taking Jesus Christ as your Savior instead of fooling around with all this stuff.
Pedro Cerrano: Jesus, I like him very much, but He no help with curveball.
Eddie Harris: You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

It is one of those movies where I can pretty much say each line before they do and I still laugh anyway.

One of my favorite Tonight Show clips was with Bob Uecker and Mel Brooks.

No exaggeration, outside of my family, he's the voice I've heard more than any other human.   

I think the least surprising thing about the Harry Doyle role is that it is total improv.

The volumes of stories that could be written about  Uecker is really hard to visualize.

I think everyone has a personal experience with their home town baseball annoucer.  I feel that with Ernie Harwell, but Uecker was such a unique talent, I think people well beyond Milwaukee feel that way about him.  Watched Major League with my son tonight.  Was he too young?  Yup.  Just as I was when I watched it with my dad when I was 8
