Joe Buck: Dad waited for me before he died

[@dchang11]

Best right turn in my life. Words cannot describe the emotion I felt.

[@TarHeelsKenny]

The night he paid tribute to his dad in 2011 by saying "We will see you, tomorrow night" just like his dad during the 1991 WS is something that will stick with me forever. RIP Jack

[@John28PM]

One of the coolest interviews you've ever done. What an amazing story.

His father was an amazing man and made many people happy.I didn't grow up listening to Joe but I definitely remember Jack Buck.great man

[@benjamintrahin9571]

Sephi Rothstein there are a few interviewers out there that have this rare ability, to get celebrities to open up. I think part of it is trust. He never rakes anyone over the coals, just let's them open up to him.

people who say they hate Joe Buck are almost always sheep. There is nothing to hate about the guy. He loves baseball and has a great voice for the game.

[@louisbologna4089]

I couldn't agree with you more! I think Joe is one of the best in the business and also he is a great guy too. Like father like son both in my opinion were a gift for fans to listen too! Also it's no secret that Joe is a diehard Cardinals fan as he should be growing up there but when he is calling a game he is professional and neutral you couldn't even tell he was a diehard fan and that's what makes him one of the best!

[@joshprovance9733]

You obviously havent watched him call Football.

[@EduardoNevesSilva]

@@joshprovance9733 But that's the point. He's not a good football announcer IMO, but he's pretty good at announcing baseball.

That’s an amazing yet saddening story. I’ll never understand why Joe gets bashed the way he does; he’s a good man.

[@carlosmatos9848]

I thought I was the only Packer fan that didn't despise him, lol. He's not the greatest commentator ever, but I think he's good at what he does.

[@VideoMan20111]

You've gotta figure for as great a man as his dad was, Joe had to have inherited some of his dad's great qualities

[@danjacobsen7645]

When I hear Joe Bucks voice for a packers game it means to me that it’s a big game. I’ve never had a problem listening to him don’t really understand why others do. But then again most people are negative in nature

[@AnthonyCrane-j7g]

It's interesting that I grew up during the Jack Buck era, and my son grew up during the JOE Buck era. He talks about him so fondly, and misses him on MLB. He said it's not the same with Joe Davis, even tho Davis is good

[@daltonfarris]

@@scottweber6789 I think a lot of people dont like joe because a lot of people see joe getting broadcast and commentator jobs as nepotism. Thinking that joe just got the jobs because his dad was jack buck which I think is true and joe isnt as talented as his dad. I personally like joe because I liked Jack, I'm a cardinals fan and understand why people dont like him it hurt me when he left the cardinals to go to network tv and I thought that was legacy tarnishing.

[@shannonwilliams1941]

I spent a lot of time with Joe and Jack! Joe was never the nicest. Jack ALWAYS was! I loved Jack, but not Joe. I’m sorry, but I seen it first hand.

[@zachmargolick5835]

Joe has the best voice. He actually sounds pretty cool when he's not getting excited like in the games, but I do love the sound of Joe Buck getting excited, it sounds like an echo, for example Stefon Diggs touchdown.

[@BRY7007]

I never got the criticism of Joe Buck. I like him and think he does a great job. I enjoy Graham's interviews as well.

[@1brownsfan296]

B. Cleveland it's more that he doesn't react the same way people do. He treats a Hail Mary from Aaron Rodgers like someone just crossed the street, other than that he's pretty good at his job

Joe Buck is a great, and sensitive guy. That's no insult, it's a compliment. He learned to care about other people, something his dad taught him. Don't like his football? Too bad.

[@johnisselhardt2646]

I'll never forget being part of an 80 man barbershop chorus getting to sing the national anthem at Busch stadium before a Cardinal's game. We were all standing in the bowels of the stadium waiting to go onto the field when Jack Buck walked by. He stopped and looked at us and asked what group we were. When we told him we were a barbershop chorus he looked at us and said, "I hate barbershop singing." Not all stories about the guy are good.

[@trustlowk]

Lol you gonna cry bro?

[@MrJimmy3459]

I use to think stories like this were bullshit until I had a similar experience with my father, he suffered a heart attack was resuscitated and taken to the hospital. After a few days the doctors said he had no brain activity so he was essentially brain dead, after a few days I made the tough decision to disconnect everything from him but I did visit him told him I loved him held his hand but I was the only family member who did that, my mom and brother didn't want to visit because they figured it would be to hard to see him in that condition. Needless to say he lasted 10 days on his own, eventually the Hospital called me and recommended Hospice care. Which is care at home for a loved one whos going to die, so they take him to my moms home and this time obviously my mother and brother visit him talk to him spend time with him, even his only two granddaughters visit and say their goodbyes. All of this happened in one evening and by 6 A.M. the next morning he passed away..............

I understand why people don't like Joe Buck. He just comes off kind of...not sure the word. Some combination of arrogant and condescending but I the words he says are not that.

Personally, I think he does a great job. I love listening to the WS with him and McCarver

Joe was not gonna be with his Dad while he passed? Something made him turn into the hospital and see what Dads status was? Yeah, been here and done this and as painful as it was I was the rock on my parents side till they left.

You will never be one half the announcer your dad was Joey but you got all the perks that he deserved. I grew up in central IL and heard Harry and your dad every summer night as a boy. They knew how to make a ballgame come to life over a radio. You and your old padnah (sic) McCarver made it excruciatingly painful to watch the Redbirds in the postseason. Remember, no matter how rich you are, you'll never be able to hold your dad's mic stand.
