Mr. President, I can only hope to leave a rounding error of as much impact as you writing about Uecker. Simply beautiful.

It says something that he could make anyone break a rib laughing, even the toughest player of the entire generation

Great thread, I really appreciated it and enjoyed it. Uecker always seemed like someone you wanted to luck up and sit next to at a bar for a couple of hours.
