Not even close.


OTE's avatar aptly illustrates the gap between the two.

As announcers, mostly the same.

Uecker just made his way to Hollywood a lot.

Both are great as announcers.

Uecker did 54 years on the radio for his hometown team and mentored numerous play-by-play guys throughout the majors, one of whom won the Ford Frick in his own right. Hawk was a hired gun who did his same act for the Yankees, thought himself above radio (maybe because he couldn't get away with sitting and pouting), and was always loathed by a good portion of Sox fans. The better comp for Uecker is Ed Farmer.

Hawk sucked. Crotchy POS. One of the worst comments I have ever heard on here. When Hawk passes people will piss on his grave for what a jackass he was.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but he will not be remembered and celebrated like Uecker in Wisconsin. Hawk isn't even from here. He didn't play here. He's just the guy Reinsdorf brought in from the Red Sox after running Harry and Piersall out.

One of the best burns in baseball history, "the only thing you know about pitching is that you can't hit it."

I love David Letterman, Norm MacDonald, and Bob Uecker -- if you haven't seen it, it's a good two minutes
