Not exactly the "front row:" New Uecker statue unveiled at Miller Park

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- The Milwaukee Brewers unveiled on Friday, April 25th, the newest Bob Uecker statue at Miller Park.  Unlike the statues that surround Miller Park’s Home Plate Plaza, this statue is in the last row of the Terrace Level at Miller Park.

The statue pays tribute to the popular Miller Lite “All Stars” ad campaign which featured Uecker’s famous tagline, “I must be in the front row.” In those commercials, Uecker somehow always ended up in the last row—as will this statue.

The statue was designed by Brian Maughan, the artist of the four statues outside Miller Park on the Home Plate Plaza — Hank Aaron, Allan H. “Bud” Selig, Robin Yount and Uecker.

The Uecker statue is made of bronze, but also has color effects.

Below is a gallery of other bronze sculptures commissioned by Maughan. You can also visit Maughan's website to see more of his work.
