I was interviewing Bob Uecker several years back and I figured I'd surprise him with a question. I tossed his 1965 #519 Topps card I had collected of him posing as a left-handed batter when, in fact, he was a right-handed batter -- and said "What's up with this?" He laughed and as he replied he surprised me when he pulled out a pen and signed it. He then told me to put it away because one of his all-time favorite quotes is: "I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture." It adds more to that joke, though.

If you ever get a chance to see the old TV show he hosted, "The Wacky World of Sports", check it out. It's pretty funny.
