Uecker passed away earlier this offseason at the age of 90. These tributes certainly seem appropriate, and while they focus on the home opener, there will certainly be Uecker tributes throughout the season.

A true baseball lifer, Uecker was described as "one of a kind" by everyone who spoke about him. A former player, Uecker was a Hall of Fame broadcaster who called Brewers games for more than 50 years. He spent six seasons in the big leagues with the Milwaukee Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves. He was a career .200 hitter who helped the Milwaukee Braves win the title in 1964.

The Brewers are coming off a season in which they won the National League Central by 10 games before losing to the New York Mets in the wild card round of the playoffs. It was the second straight season that the Brewers lost in that round of the playoffs.

Milwaukee has never won a World Series.
