Vinny Rottino, Brewers TV analyst and former player on Uecker, broadcasting, La Crosse baseball
Vinny Rottino joined WIZM’s La Crosse Talk on Monday. He is the Brewers TV analyst, who also played in the MLB, including for Milwaukee.
We talk about Bob Uecker, who will turn 91 on Jan. 26, how the Brewers TV broadcast has changed over the past couple of months and about UW-La Crosse, where he played baseball and is in the university’s hall of fame.
Rottino is the featured guest for the La Crosse Loggers 21st annual winter BBQ happening at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the La Crosse Center.
La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.
Also joining the show is Loggers/Steam owner Dan Kapanke. We talk about his teams, what will happen at the winter BBQ and we argue a bit — again — about the Brewers $500 million stadium funding plan past last year by the state Legislature.
Kapanke is also the Town of Campbell Board chair, and we discuss the PFAS dilemma that continues there and some of the solutions that are hopefully coming.
