Overview
- The 80-by-100-foot mural on the north façade of the Wintrust Financial Center was completed and formally dedicated Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at a public ceremony attended by city officials, Brewers players, family members and the artist.
- Artist Mauricio Ramirez designed and painted the work, signing the finished piece at the event; Ramirez previously created a high-profile Giannis Antetokounmpo mural in Milwaukee in 2022.
- The portrait shows Uecker in a trademark plaid blazer and includes his signature and the nickname “Mr. Baseball,” turning a downtown building into a visible city landmark.
- The tailgate-themed dedication included remarks from Mayor Cavalier Johnson and Brewers leaders, branded activations from Molson Coors (the first 500 adults received a can of Miller Lite) and fan-focused elements like free brats and photos with players.
- The mural adds to existing tributes to Uecker—who broadcast Brewers games for 54 seasons and died on January 16, 2025—and signals how public art, team rituals and corporate support shape Milwaukee’s memory of local sports figures.
