Summary:
The announcer of the historic, Chicago Cubs-winning World Series reveals why he is one lucky bastard.
Joe
Buck
broadcasts one of the biggest games in the NFL every week, calls the World Series every year, announces the Super Bowl every three years. Yet we have no idea who
Joe
really is. Or how he got here. How he almost blew his career. Here are the funniest and most embarrassing stories and his interactions with the biggest sports stars of this era. How he can laugh at himself and that he thinks some of his critics have a point. What it was like to grow up in his father’s shadow. Jack, the voice of the St. Louis Cardinals for almost fifty years, helped
Joe
get his broadcasting start at eighteen. But
Joe
had to prove himself, first as a minor league radio announcer and then on local TV, national TV with ESPN, and then finally on FOX. He now has a successful career, but only after a lot of dues-paying, learning, and pretty damn entertaining mistakes that are recounted in this book.
