It wasn’t quite an emergency, but it did make for an interesting tale after Bob Uecker, Joe Block, Jeff Levering and crew were trapped in the Milwaukee Brewers radio booth at Miller Park last night.
Uecker said it was the first time he’s been locked in a booth, which happened after the handle to the door fell off on the outside. As the hinges to the door were inside, the only way out was through the window via ladder:
Looks like Uecker & Co. are indeed locked in the radio booth. Help appears to be on the way. pic.twitter.com/Ii3isuuBqI
