MILWAUKEE — There was Opening Day for the Brewers, and then there was opening night for filmmakers Steve Farr and Michael T. Vollmann, who were on hand at American Family Field on Thursday as fans watched a preview of their feature-length documentary, “Ueck,” about the late, legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker.
The film will premiere on April 16 during the Milwaukee Film Festival before a major theatrical release later this summer. For nearly two years, before Uecker passed away in January 2025 following a private battle with small cell lung cancer, “Mr. Baseball” and his wife, children and friends welcomed the film crew into their lives to tell the story of Ueck’s journey through baseball, stage and screen.
