4.0 out of 5 stars
A great, great man. Too bad his son is famous because of it.,
This review is from: Jack Buck: Forever a Winner (Hardcover)
Nothing but good things can be said about Jack Buck. He was one of the country's most beloved anouncers and will be remembered so. This would have received a 5 star rating if his son, Joe Buck, wasn't an author. The only reason he has a job is because of his father. Joe Buck is a pathetic excuse for an announcer and it is a shame that he can choose, at will, each Sunday game he wants to cover (usually the team with the best record, bandwagon Joe?) He has a knack for pointing out the obvious and giving absolutely no insight into game.
