MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers will celebrate broadcaster Bill “Rock” Schroeder’s 30th season in the booth as a color commentator, this Friday, June 14 as the Crew takes on the Cincinnati Reds at 7:10 p.m.
The long-time broadcaster will be surrounded by friends, family and his former play-by-play partners on the field and will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Further, fans can listen in to the most recent Brewers Unfiltered Podcast with Brian Anderson speaking with Paschke, Vasgersian and Sutton about their time in the booth with Schroeder. https://www.mlb.com/brewers/fans/podcasts.
“Bill bleeds true Brewers blue in every way, and he has been part of so many iconic moments in franchise history as both a player and a broadcaster,” said Brewers President – Business Operations, Rick Schlesinger. “We look forward to celebrating Bill’s thirty years as a broadcaster with his friends, family and work colleagues.”
Schroeder joined the TV broadcast team in 1995 following a distinguished playing career as a catcher. Schroeder spent eight seasons (1983-90) in the majors with the Brewers and California Angels, including a career year in 1987 in which he batted .332 with 42 RBI and a career-high 14 HR. He caught the first no hitter in franchise history, thrown by Juan Nieves in Baltimore on April 15, 1987. In addition to catching the first no hitter in franchise history, Rock was on the call for the second no-hitter in franchise history, a combined no-no on Sept. 11, 2021, in Cleveland.
Schroeder is also recognized for his involvement in community and charitable activities, particularly in support of organizations focused on improving health and education for children. His commitment extends beyond the baseball field, positively impacting the community.
In recognition of Schroeder’s long-serving tenure on the broadcast team, he was enshrined on the Brewers Wall of Honor on July 17, 2015.
