Bob Uecker, the lovable former Major League Baseball player and longtime broadcaster who was never afraid to poke fun at his playing career, has died at 90.

Uecker, who became known as Mr. Baseball after his many appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, had the gift of gab both in interviews and as a longtime broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers.

We've posted a few of his Ueck-isms below.

"I led the league in go get 'em next time." Uecker hit .200 over his brief Major League Baseball career.

"I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment." Uecker played for three teams over his short career.

"The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud." Uecker told variations of this story, including in 2003, when he received the Ford C. Frick Award, bestowed annually by the Baseball Hall of Fame to a broadcaster.

"The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up." Uecker spent part of his career playing behind the plate for the Atlanta Braves and catching Hall of Fame knuckleballer Phil Niekro.

"I had slumps that lasted into the winter." Uecker had 146 hits in his big league career.

And more ...

"Baseball hasn't forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven't lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me. Just like old times."

"My kids used to do things to aggravate me, too. I'd take them to a game, and they'd want to come home with a different player."

"I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase."

"I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture."

"Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products."

"Gene Mauch was my favorite manager. He'd say to me, "Grab a bat and stop this rally."
