I never listened to him, buys that’s the line I always think about. It was from a beer commercial, right?

Yes... He will be missed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPh4iF76LbU

Oddly, It was because He felt like he never measured up, that he had a sense of humility...
He severely underestimated his skill & talent.

Damn it. I just looked him up the other day to see if he was still alive after seeing him in a video clip.

Bob Uecker was a class act. He was definitely of a different generation that understood that baseball players, for better or for worse, were public figures and needed to act accordingly. He didn't take himself too seriously, loved making people laugh, even at his own expense, and never embarrassed or offended anyone. I know it seems like that's a pretty low bar for public figures, but it's amazing how few can actually manage that.
