Life imitates Major League imitates life

I am listening to the baseball game between the Nationals and the Brewers, which Bob Uecker is currently announcing. Here is the call on a recent pitch: "1-1 count. Just a bit outside." Dude!

I'm sure the quote I have in mind is familiar to most of you. The awesome fact is that the announcer in the movie who made that comment in the movie was played by Bob Uecker, so it's not a random announcer citing the movie -- it's the same person calling the pitch a way he normally would (which was part of the reason why that was used in the movie) which has become a famous movie line because of the way it was used there.
