Coined “The Kid” by Bob Uecker, Robin stated that he is “… deeply honored to be asked to be part of the Usinger’s team as I know how much Ueck enjoyed working with them. I’m also hoping to become their official taste tester!” 

Likewise, Fritz Usinger, president of Fred Usinger, Inc., is thrilled with the new partnership. “We’re so happy to welcome Robin to the Usinger’s family. It’s very exciting for our company to be able to work with a Milwaukee legend like Robin Yount.” 

Both Robin and Fritz are Hall of Fame members in their respective fields: Robin was inducted in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999; Fritz was elected to the National Meat Industry Hall of Fame in 2024.

There’s A New Dog In Town!

Call them Hot Dogs, call them Franks, but Baseball is just not the same without them. This season we have added a new one to our line up in honor of our friend and Hall of Famer, Bob Uecker. This recipe was developed just for Bob. After hanging out in ballparks and eating hot dogs since the ‘50’s, nobody knows them better than Ueck. Mr. Baseball’s Famous Franks are made from only select cuts of beef, naturally smoked in our two story brick smokehouses and have a touch of garlic. You can grill ‘em or steam ‘em however you want to make them they always taste great ! Look for Mr. Baseball’s Famous Franks and Mr. Baseball’s Fresh Bratwurst for your next cookout. You’ll find them at your local Sendik’s store.

Mr. Baseball Brats

Now that Spring has finally arrived it’s time to fill the grill.  One thing that goes great with baseball season is Mr. Baseball Brats.  Enjoy Bob Uecker’s favorite brat and help out the Make-A-Wish kids too!  A portion of the proceeds from Mr. Baseball Brats goes to the Wisconsin Make-A-Wish Foundation.  But it’s not just a great cause, it’s also a great brat!

What is a Mr. Baseball Brat you ask ?   The Sausage Makers at Usinger’s created a special recipe that is seasoned just the way Bob likes his Brats.

You’ll find Mr. Baseball Brats on our website, in our retail store, and also at your local Sendik’s store.  Giv’em a try, you’ll be glad you did.

“Thanks for voting for us in the Wisconsin’s Best Brat Contest”, we need your support.
