Marcus Theatres re-releases 'Major League' for Bob Uecker tribute

In tribute to the late Bob Uecker, Marcus Theatres will re-release the classic baseball film 'Major League' at select locations in Wisconsin from January 24 to January 30. Uecker, who passed away on January 16 at the age of 90, played the iconic role of announcer Harry Doyle in the film, which features memorable lines that have become part of sports cinema history. Tickets for the screenings are priced at $5.40, symbolizing Uecker's impressive 54-year tenure as the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Milwaukee Brewers Foundation. The film will be shown at various Marcus locations, including Bay Park and Palace cinemas, with one daily screening. Uecker's legacy extends beyond baseball broadcasting, as he was also recognized for his appearances on TV shows and commercials. The film was originally shot in Milwaukee, further connecting it to Uecker's roots in the city.
