Items #1 Affidavit Reference
On June 1st, beginning 12:35 EST, the Milwaukee Brewers were playing baseball versesthe Pittsburgh
Pirates in Pittsburgh; the day thatthis affidavit was originally filed in Milwaukee CircuitCourt, Case #
06CV005068. The documentation consisted of nineteen pages, including an attachment; a letter dated
April 18th. Bob Uecker provided his signature to the documentation, whereby it was sworn to, dated
on, and filedJune 1st, 2006. Bob Uecker serves as theradio announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers and
served on the broadcasting team responsible for announcing Brewer baseball from Pittsburgh on June 1st.
The affidavit was posted on an existingNew York City, website, the next day, June 2nd. Even though
the editor of this website, Bill Bastone, is based in New York, heobtained a photocopyof every pageof
theaffidavitand postedit on the website June 2nd. He purposelyincludedmy personalinformation on the
sameletter page whereUecker’s information appeared, yet he blocked Uecker’s informationfrom view.
The signed, sworn affidavit (Case #06V005068) remains posted on Bastone’s website. This case, 06CV005068, was dismissed without prejudice on June 6th, 2006. The police utilized the internet affidavit copy from thesmokinggun.com as its official copy in the police report files. An officialcopy of file was provided by the Milwaukee Police Department to an attorney on July 12th. It included the case filing #06CV005068, dismissed on June 6thandthe attached affidavit, printed from the website.
Bob Uecker claims ownership and responsibility for these inflated accounts and accusations.It was
fraudulently necessary for Uecker to outline these uncanny tales to pursue a civil TRO action and arrest
against me, an innocent person. There wasclearly linking communication between several resources,
includingthesmokinggun.comwebsite. There was a rush to self-publicity and generate news exposure
whichincluded the “national enquirer – like” website. It demonstrates intent and purpose with the
cohesive involvementof theimmediate next day posting on thisNew York basedinternetwebsite. The judicial system does not existfor implementingfalse stories charges or for demonstrating manipulation. I certainly question the fullintentions behindUecker’s actions and aggression against an innocent person.
Uecker is known as quite thestory teller. His stories have been part of his radio broadcasts. The story
teller has no right to prepare an exaggerated yarnof events or contact and present a false, sworn affidavit
as evidence to support a case against an innocent person. It is not ethical. The damages itcreates are not
reversible. Considering the circumstance of outrageous accusations and credibility in character, scrutiny
is extremely important. All individuals are entitled to equality. Why would I be denied both?
I want to also emphasize that Uecker has been dishonest with hisown, historical information.
I own a copy of The Biographical Encyclopedia of Baseball, which lists Bob Uecker’s date of birth as
January 26th, 1935. Many other statistical websites and reference books list the date as such. Baseball
records document the date as January 26th, 1935. Bob Uecker’s baseball cards, as well as his own
authored book, “Catcher in the Wry”, stated the date as January 26th, 1935. It seems peculiar that Bob
Uecker would list his own birthday on all sworn, official court documents, as January 26th, 1934.
The Biographical Encyclopedia of Baseball also outlines that while stationed in Missouri with the Army, Uecker at age 19, claimed to have played for MarquetteUniversity so that he could play on the Fort Leonard Wood Team. MarquetteUniversity never had a baseball team and Uecker never attended college. In 1956, Uecker was signed as an amateur free agent with the Milwaukee Braves. In October 1967, he was released by the Atlanta Braves. The encyclopedia does not document or verify if Uecker was working in professional baseball consistently after 1967 through 1971.
Let me further add other information relating to Bob Uecker based on The Biographical Encyclopedia of
Baseball and the Milwaukee Brewer Official Publications.
In 1971, the Milwaukee Team Owner Bud Selig retained Uecker as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers’
Broadcasting Crew. He has become identifiable with the Milwaukee Brewers over all these years through serving as the radio broadcaster who provides a public service to Milwaukee Brewer Baseball Fans. Bob
Uecker is one of the radio announcers for the Milwaukee Brewers.
In July 2005, the Milwaukee Brewers honored Uecker for “fifty years” in Major League Baseball.
It does not seem authentically respectful to the baseball world to document the date of your birth within all baseball records, including all your baseball cards as 1935, then change it to 1934 after close to fifty years in baseball. The man calls himself Mr. Baseball and describes or mirrors his birth story tothat of Jesus Christ.
I also felt it unusual that Uecker, who has been in the broadcasting role for the Milwaukee Brewers, over thirty-five years, would notknow about the fundamental history of building MillerPark. It just seems impractical for him to not know that MillerPark was delayed from its scheduled opening in 2000 to 2001 due to the construction accidentwhere a crane collapsed to the ground and construction workers lost their lives. Uecker insisted verballyin repeated sworn testimony that MillerPark opened in 2002.
The Official Magazine of the Milwaukee Brewers, called Between The Lines, featured an article written
in commemoration of Bob Uecker’s Fifty Years in Baseball. Several quotations from this 2005 Issue 4
publication related to Bob Uecker and fans. The words, some which are quotes by Uecker, would be
thought as accurate and truthful.
Here are a few of these quotations:
“As he celebrates 50 years in baseball, Uecker’s memories are filled with genuine, heartfelt
appreciation, not just for what he’s accomplished but also for the unwavering support of family,
friends, and fans alike.” (Page 26, Column 1)
“What’s kept Uke grounded is an awareness that his world in baseball does not revolve on its
own – rather on the acceptance and loyalty of others. His humility is a product of his
upbringing. So is his work ethic. After 50 years in baseball, it hasn’t changed, because
he hasn’t.” (Page 26, Column 2)
“Sports fans have come to know him by sight. Strangers often call him by name. The curious
constantly wave at him. Admirers photograph him at every turn. Young and old go out of their
way to get an autograph. At times, it can be exasperating. But after decades in the limelight,
he’s learned to go with the flow. Sometimes a friendly smile or responsive nod will suffice. Bob
knows it comes with the territory.” (Page 26, Column 2)
“The fans have been great to me. Who are you without fans, anyway? That’s one reason why I’ve
stayed [here, in Milwaukee]. Fan support here has been unbelievable. And, that’s the bottom line.”
(Page 87, Column 3)
This portrayal and the quotes are significant relating to Bob Uecker and the fans. Bob Uecker was portrayed
with humility, a humanitarian. It was not a true depiction, but more along the lines of a disguise.
