Joe Buck Career

Buck started his sportscasting career in the late 1980s while still a college student working as a play-by-play announcer for the Louisville Redbirds. Joe gained useful broadcasting experience thanks to the Cardinals’ minor league club. Later, in 1989, he began working for ESPN, covering the Triple-A All-Star Game as a reporter. He was a reporter for a CBS affiliate in the early 1990s.

Additionally, he began his radio career by serving as a Cardinals broadcaster on KMOX Radio. Joe was able to step in for his father, who frequently needed his son to cover for him while he tried to manage various sportscasting responsibilities, and as a result, Joe was given several early opportunities.

When Joe was hired by Fox Sports in 1994, it was his big break. He eventually became so dedicated to his job with Fox that he had little time left to announce Cardinals games. He later made history by becoming the youngest man to ever announce a regular schedule of National Football Games on television.

He joined forces with Tim McCarver in 1996 to serve as Fox’s primary MLB play-by-play announcer. Joe’s father and McCarver have previously collaborated. Later, Buck broke the record for the youngest person to host a national World Series broadcast. In an effort to honor the late sportscasting star, Joe has used a number of his father’s catchphrases during the course of his career.

As his career progressed, he started to announce a smaller number of MLB regular-season games annually, typically starring major clubs like the Yankees and Red Sox. He also announces the World Series and the All-Star Game. He collaborated with the analysts John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal in 2016. He broadcast for 21 World Series games and 20 All-Star Games by the year 2019, which is more than any other network television play-by-play announcer.

Buck has worked for Fox as a play-by-play commentator for NFL games in addition to baseball. Soon after joining the network in 1994, he was paired with Tim Green, but after three years he stopped to concentrate on baseball. Over the following few years, he did, however, continue to have a tenuous relationship with the NFL, frequently filling in for other broadcasters.

He had enough spare time in 2002 to devote more of his attention to football. He collaborated alongside Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews as Fox’s primary play-by-play announcer in Pat Summerall’s place. Due to this, he reduced the amount of time he spent announcing for the Cardinals, and in 2008, he completely left the organization. Throughout his career, Joe has worked as a Super Bowl announcer.

Additionally, he started anchoring programs including “Fox NFL Sunday,” though he quit this position in 2007. Joe was given the opportunity to host his own program, “Joe Buck Live,” by HBO Sports in 2009. The program ended in 2010, and Buck later said he didn’t have time to continue it because it took a lot more work than he had anticipated. In 2013, he also very briefly called the first five minutes of an NHL game.
