Bob Uecker RIP; Thanks for all the Laughs

    He made it to 90. Almost 91. How many humans live that long? Maybe not enough. He had quite a life. I know he had some great affects on me. The combination of his baseball and humor was tremendous. 

    He was a truly funny guy, with great energy, which to me makes him a genius.

    Sometimes I think that the sport of baseball, and even other sports, but especially baseball, is a chance for all of us to talk to each other. We talk while watching it on TV, at the game from the stands, between coaches and players in the dugouts and bull pens... Even the opposing players talk to each other around the base paths. 

    I remember Uecker doing funny commercials back in the 1980s. His self-deprecating presence and personality was refreshing and so funny. He made me laugh, even more when interviewing and speaking in impromptu venues. Hilarious.

    Thanks for the laughter and the good times!

    I was thinking of all the people that have made me laugh. It is a very long list. Who and what makes us laugh? Why do we or not find things funny? What do we sound like when we laugh? How do we come across.

    It is usually a good thing, when it is not derisive or disrespectful.

    I am watching the best of him now, with my wife...

    Good times.

    Thanks again.

    See you up above, and I think I would love to have some more laughs.
