”People who are listening to the ballgame, I know what you’re thinking: `He’s ready for the (nursing) home. He’s cooked. It’s finally happened. He’s seeing ladders and doors without handles.”’

”Anyone, really, from the concourse could just walk up our ladder,” joked Joe Block, Uecker’s broadcast partner, who was also locked in.
