For much of his time owning the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner got what he wanted. Unfortunately for The Boss, Bob Uecker wasn’t for sale. On Wednesday, Yankees TV announcer Michael Kay revealed that Steinbrenner tried luring Uecker away from Milwaukee “a few times” on his self-titled mid-day show on ESPN New York.

Bob Uecker, longtime Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster known as "Mr. Baseball," died at the age of 90. Born and raised in Milwaukee, he spent six seasons as a catcher in the MLB. He later went on to become a Hall of Fame announcer for his hometown team.
