“You can’t talk about the Brewers and not think about Ueck,” Levering told Sportico. “He means everything to that organization.”
As the franchise prepares to make its first World Series appearance in 44 years against the Tampa Bay Rays, Uecker has returned to the forefront of the baseball world. That’s yielded an opportunity, one that his family has seemingly prepared for.

Love it @JeffZillgitt and @NBAHistory but can we also discuss why ABA stats aren’t yet included in the NBA records or why none of the proceeds of ABA sales this year are going to the ABA guys?
“The competition in the ABA was always great. The four teams that survived the merger (San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets) they’re all worthy and I pull for them today no matter who they’re against. This year when San Antonio was playing New York, even though I’m from New York, I was pulling for San Antonio just because they were an ABA franchise.”
NBA and ABA legend Julius Erving sat down with @JeffZillgitt to discuss the 50th anniversary of the merger and more.

I’m glad the NBA is celebrating the ABA’s. But it’s BS to recognize our league while many former ABA players struggle and their stats remain excluded from NBA records!
Honor the players. Honor the history. Honor the numbers. Honor the Legacy!
NBA, do the right thing!!

It took years to get to this point…26 years of Super Bowl memories in 400+ pages and 32 pages of photos. Hopefully something that will bring back memories for many that contributed.
