I always try to shine the spotlight on what's happening on the field and not what's coming out of my mouth.
You always want to do games for fans that seem to really care. That is the Boston fan. They're passionate.
I love sharing my experience with others, especially students who are eager to learn the business.
Broadcasting golf is not like broadcasting baseball or football. You see the ball and the action through your own eyes. The story is unfolding in front of you. In golf, the story is unfolding here and there and everywhere. As the guy in the broadcast tower, you're getting it all on screens and from reporters in the field. It's a tricky business.
Jeter was no choir boy, Jeter has lived a life. But it's always stayed separate from what happened when he showed up at Yankee Stadium. And that's really to his credit.
I started in radio.
I, Joseph Francis Buck, became a hair-plug addict.
I am an extremely lucky and blessed person, but I'm pretty self-aware.
I learned as my dad's kid that unless you physically can't get there, unless you physically can't do it, you need to show up for work.
I have to live with what I say, or don't say, tens of thousands of times a game.
If that had been my only purpose in life - to call home runs and touchdowns - I'd lead a pretty shallow life.
I come from a city like St. Louis, where they consider themselves great baseball fans.
I just consider Boston and New England incredible sports fans. If they give me trouble, think I'm rooting for other side, it's mainly because they're living and dying with every pitch and every play and think I'm rooting for the other side. I'd much rather that than apathy.
No matter how it started, I grew up with a great American love story. Two parents who didn't fight, enjoyed having parties and being together, and it was a great way to grow up.
I think people have a warped sense of who I am.
I think people bend the truth all the time, unfortunately.
There are a lot of people across the country, for as silly as this sounds, who obsess about hair loss.
If I had a walk-up song in 2019, it would be 'Baby Shark.' It's haunting. It's mesmerizing. It's catchy.
I watched how happy broadcasting made him. And if you're close with your parent and you see they're happy doing something, it's only natural you want to follow in their footsteps.
I was worried that if I lost my hair, I would lose my job.
