Overview
- Milwaukee clinched MLB’s first 2025 postseason berth with a 9-8 win over the Cardinals on Sept. 13, after which Murphy read the note during a clubhouse toast.
- A team video initially presented the message as coming from Bob Uecker, leading to early reports that implied it was his letter.
- By Sept. 15–16, a Brewers spokesman and Murphy confirmed he wrote it to honor Uecker and to connect players with team history and the city.
- The note echoed Uecker’s voice and included lines referencing the Brewers’ best overall and road records this season.
- Uecker, the club’s radio voice for 54 seasons, died in January at age 90, and the Brewers have worn a commemorative jersey patch this year in his honor.
