Joe Buck Career
Buck was born in St. Petersburg, Florida and raised in the St. Louis area, where he attended St. Louis Country Day School. He began his broadcasting career in 1989 while he was an undergraduate at Indiana University Bloomington.
Buck called play-by-play for the then-Louisville Redbirds, a minor league affiliate of the Cardinals, and was a reporter for ESPN’s coverage of the Triple-A All-Star Game. In 1991, he did reporting for St Louis’ CBS affiliate KMOV. Also, in 1991 Buck began broadcasting for the Cardinals on local television and KMOX Radio, filling in while his father was working on CBS telecasts.
In 1994, Buck was hired by Fox, and at the age of 25 became the youngest man ever to announce a regular slate of National Football League games on network television.In 1996, he was named Fox’s lead play-by-play voice for Major League Baseball, teaming with Tim McCarver, who had previously worked with his father on CBS. That year, he became the youngest man to do a national broadcast for a World Series, surpassing Sean McDonough, who called the 1992 World Series for CBS at the age of 30.
On August 14, 2006, Buck was named the host of Fox’s pregame NFL show, Fox NFL Sunday and postgame doubleheader show. According to the Nielsen rating system, viewership was down for the entire season. Fox announced in March 2007 that Buck would no longer host Fox NFL Sunday in 2007, concentrating on play-by-play for the week’s marquee game.
On October 14, 2012, Buck called a doubleheader, first with the New York Giants-San Francisco 49ers game at 4:25 PM, then traveled via trolley for the seven-mile journey across town to call Game 1 of the NLCS between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants.
On February 12, 2013, the Los Angeles Kings visited the St. Louis Blues and Buck got invited into the booth along with Darren Pang and John Kelly. In 2011, shortly after broadcasting Super Bowl XLV for Fox, Buck claimed to have developed a virus on the nerves of his left vocal fold. Despite the ailment, which according to Buck “came out of the blue” and hampered his ability to raise his voice, he continued to broadcast baseball for Fox during the 2011 season. Later in 2016 Buck revealed that the problem was not due to a virus, but rather to vocal cord paralysis likely caused by anesthesia used during multiple hair transplantation procedures.

Joe Buck Randy Moss
Randy Moss engaged in one of the most infamous acts of taunting in NFL playoff history when he faux-mooned the Lambeau Field faithful back in 2005. … Joe Buck, who was calling the playoff game for FOX, referred to Moss‘ antics as a “disgusting act,” an outburst that became almost as infamous as Moss‘ faux moon.
Joe Buck News
Joe Buck is reinvigorated, having turned 50 last week and now is rarin’ to get back to work.
Buck, Fox Sports’ lead MLB and NFL play-by-play announcer, is set to call the Cardinals-Cubs game Saturday in Chicago. It airs nationally on FS1, and will be carried in the St. Louis market along with Fox Sports Midwest’s local telecast of the contest that begins at 3:05 p.m. He works with analyst John Smoltz and reporter Ken Rosenthal. FSM has Dan McLaughlin on play-by-play, Tim McCarver handling analysis and Jim Hayes reporting.
It will be Buck’s first broadcast since Jan. 20, when he called the NFC championship game.
Buck, a St. Louisan who has a daughter attending acting school in New York and another wrapping up her freshman year of college at Southern California, became a father again when he second wife, fellow sportscaster Michelle Beisner-Buck, had twin boys last April. He has been busy with the family during his time off from work.
“I’m changing diapers, feeding bottles and chasing kids who now can walk,” he said. “I don’t know as a 50-year-old man if I’m equipped to chase 1-year-olds around, but I’m doing my best.”
““It was nothing serious, it was routine, but I didn’t want to miss it and (management) didn’t have an issue with me missing,” Buck said. “So I stayed home and made sure it was good, and it was.”
Buck earned the time off, having compiled what is believed to be an unprecedented iron-man streak for a network play-by-play announcer last October when he broadcast NFL regular-season games and MLB postseason contests. He called 15 events in 18 days from six cities across all four time zones and bounded from one sport to the other five times, each time going to a different time zone without a day off to adjust. And he’s set for a similar scheduled this fall, after getting back into the groove this Saturday.
“It’s like going grocery shopping when you’re stuffed, nothing looks good,” he said. “When you’re starving, you grab everything off the shelves. I was pretty well stuffed in October, now I’m pretty hungry. I’m anxious to get going.”
His schedule quickly picks up. He has several baseball games before anchoring Fox Sports’ coverage of the women’s U.S. Open golf tournament that wraps up the first weekend in June. Then he does another Cards-Cubs contest in Chicago on June 8 before heading the next day to Pebble Beach to prepare to broadcast the U.S. Open men’s golf tourney that starts June 13.
He calls a Yankees-Red Sox game in London on June 29 and the MLB All-Star Game on July 9. Then it won’t be long until the NFL season starts, and he’ll have a big finish because Fox has the Super Bowl this time. So Saturday marks the beginning of a long journey for Buck.
“This is the start of the slow build to the big finish,” he said.
