For many who aren’t avid baseball fans, Bob Uecker, who passed away Thursday at the age of 90, was primarily known for his comedic talent.

His wit was showcased in various Miller Lite commercials and his prominent role in the television series “Mr. Belvedere.” Yet, when Uecker had the chance to merge his love for baseball with acting, something extraordinary emerged.

His portrayal of Harry Doyle, the play-by-play commentator in the film “Major League,” brought together all of Uecker’s skills in a remarkable performance.

One of the most memorable aspects of Harry Doyle’s character is that many of Uecker’s lines were improvised, allowing him to express his genuine, spontaneous personality (which sometimes included a few unexpected swears) along the way.

Opening Day in Cleveland

As the voice for the struggling Cleveland Indians, Harry Doyle quickly illustrates the team’s poor performance, even resorting to drinking while announcing to ease the distress.

“Listen to the cheers of this crowd,” he quips, holding the microphone to pick up the sound of a nearly empty stadium. “Yes, sir, they really support this club here in Cleveland!”

‘Juuuuuuust a bit outside!’

Doyle’s commentary was perfectly paired with the film’s physical comedy—particularly the pitching antics of Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn, played by Charlie Sheen.

There might not be a more quoted line in baseball history than Doyle’s iconic “Juuuuuuust a bit outside!”

‘That looked like the Terminator  only slower’

Harry Doyle detailed Vaughn’s many highs (and mostly lows), delivering this memorable line while showcasing his flair for wordplay, all while stating, “That baby is definitely going away for the winter.”

‘Nobody’s listening anyway’

Harry expresses his frustration about another Indians defeat after they manage to get only “one (expletive) hit.”

‘The Indians win it!’

Against the odds, this mismatched team manages to rally and comes out victorious, led by Harry in the joyful celebration.

The Impact of Losing in ‘Major League 2’

Uecker’s popularity in this role was so significant that he returned five years later for “Major League 2” in 1994 (and once more in 1998’s “Major League: Back to the Minors”).

In one scene, Harry clearly can’t take it anymore.
