We're glad it's Friday, but also sentimental over the loss of Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker. We reminisce about some of our favorite "Ueck" stories and play some audio from The Tonight Show in 1971. That spurs conversation about some of the best sportscasters in the state. Uecker, Irwin, and Garcia are brought up, along with folks like Big Al Sampson. Then our news director, Lisa Hale, joins to give a preview on what's in store this weekend on NEWisco Weekend. It's all about the importance of art in our lives.
