The Milwaukee Brewers lost a legend over the offseason when Bob Uecker passed away in January at the age of 90. Uecker was larger than life in Milwaukee and he left an impact on every life he touched. Two of those lives he touched were Brewers pitchers Freddy Peralta and Trevor Megill, both of whom are All Stars this year after putting up fantastic first halves of the 2025 season.

At this year's All Star Game, both Peralta and Megill chose to make tributes in their own way to the late, great Bob Uecker and they are going viral for it.

Bob Uecker's most famous line from the Major League movies, "Juuuuust a bit outside" is an absolutely perfect tribute from the Brewers closer. The plaid pattern, Uecker's signature, it's all so perfect.
To add to the tributes, at every All Star Game, MLB stops for a moment to Stand Up To Cancer, where everyone in the ballpark stands and holds a card with a name of someone they know that has battled or is battling cancer.
Freddy Peralta knew exactly who he was going to put on his card.

Uecker died on January 16th after a two year battle with small cell lung cancer.
Two very fitting and very perfect tributes from the Brewers All Stars to Bob Uecker.
