Top 10 Uecker calls

[ilovebeer]

Hearing Uecker call last night was epic, and it got me thinking what are his best calls. My top 10 are Braun's homerun vs the scubs 2008 2. Robin's 3000 hit. 3. Braun's walkoff grand slam 4. Easter Sunday 5. Juan Nieves no hitter 6. Last night 7. Sixto's walkoff grand slam opening day 1980 8. Richie Sexson game winnign homerun openin day of Miller Park 9. Triple play 2009 vs Giants 10.. Fielders walkoff last week of 2008.

I think Sixto is the iconic call, followed by Robin's 3,000, Braun's homer against the Cubs and Easter Sunday in that order.

I have the Braun call saved in mp3 form on every compatible digital device I own.

Same here. I still play it from time to time and my girlfriend still doesn't get why.

Anyone have a link to last night's call? I haven't heard it yet.

Go to the game article on the JSOnline. The audio wrapup will be on the left. I've found that clicking on the archives and then downloading as an mp3 works well, since I can skip to the good parts.

Surhoff's game-winning bunt basehit vs. the Yankees in '87

Tom Brunansky's game-winning HR vs. the Twins in '88 or '89

Surhoff's game-winning grand slam the 2nd game of the season in '90 - probably the most berserk I've heard Uecker go.

Gantner's game-winning home run in '92 in the first game of a doubleheader - Ueck called Gantner "Babe" the entire 2nd game.

Eddie Perez's walkoff homer in the early 2000's

That was classic. I totally remember that game and that call. It was great.

That Eddie Perez HR was a Brewerfan special as I recall seeing it from the Terrace.

[KCBrewerfan34]

Does anyone have BA's call when Braun hit that HR against the Cubs to clinch the playoff spot, I think its on the pregame, gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it.

[TooLiveBrew]

Happy 77th birthday to Ueck!

[reillymcshane]

If anyone has any other links to share for some of these, that would be great. I remember most of them, but it would be great to relive them.

As a side to this:

 

Does anyone know how to download any of these as a ringtone to your iPhone?

[TracyThom]

My ringtone is the Braun home run vs. the Cubs. My phone records audio, so I played the call over the computer speakers and recorded it. I was able to assign the audio file as a ringtone.

Can your iphone play any mp3 as a ring tone? If you have editing skills, (pretty easy to figure out, using audacity), you can cut the clip down to size, add it to your itunes library, and then put it on your iphone for easy access.

Dump her!

The best Uecker call of all time. A gift for my brewer fans....

Easter Sunday 1987 - George Webs Day - 12-in-a-row! Do you Believe It?

Edited by me to fit a common ringtone length. Cheers!

[CheezWizHed]

I was sitting in my parents living room in my Mom's chair (closest to the stereo) for that call... Good memories!

I don't think so. I went to PhoneZoo and it sent me the Braun 2008 HR ringtone as a text and I couldn't save it. I was hoping someone knew a trick on the iPhone. Android was no problem.

Start iTunes and find the song you want to convert. (It must be an MP3.)

Right-click the song and choose Get Info.

Click the Options tab.

Check the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone). I used 0:00 and 0:30, respectively, as "Spit It Out" has a perfect ascending lead-in.

Click OK, then right-click the song again and choose Create AAC Version. You should immediately see a new 30-second version of the song.

Drag that version out of iTunes and into the folder of your choice.

Delete the 30-second version from iTunes and undo the Start Time/Stop Time changes to the original.

Open the folder containing the 30-second AAC file you dragged out of iTunes, then change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. Double-click it and it immediately gets added to iTunes' ringtone library.

Finally, sync your iPhone. When it's done, you can head into the settings and select your new ringtone.

This is old, but I think it still works.

what format do the sounds need to be in to work on a phone? .wav files? .mp3? I can probably convert just about anything for you guys if i can get the clip itself.
