Joe Buck Facts
- His dad wanted to become a sportscaster from a young age and Joe was influenced by his passion. He also admitted he “wasn’t the smartest kid” but always recognized that people were drawn to his dad, which he also sought to achieve.
- As of November 2019, Joe Buck and his dad, Jack Buck are the only father and son to call play-by-play telecasts of Super Bowl.
- When he was hired by Fox Sports in 1994 at the age of 25, Joe became the youngest man ever to announce a regular amount of NFL games on the network.
- He read the eulogy at his dad’s funeral in June 2002. After his death, Joe would often use his dad’s phrase “We’ll see you tomorrow night!” to sign off.
- When Cardinals won the 2006 World Series, he used his dad’s phrase “For the first time since 1982, St. Louis has a World Series winner!”, which Jack spoke when Cardinals won in 1982.
- In his 2016 autobiography, he admitted that he was a hair plug addict. He had as little as 8 surgeries throughout his career, the 1st one at the age of 24.
- Joe also admitted in his book that he was too ashamed to reveal that one of the hair plug procedures pressured his left vocal cord nerve in 2011 and he lost the ability to speak. Instead, at that time, he falsely stated that a virus paralyzed his vocal cords.
- Despite it not being his main area of interest, on February 12, 2013, Joe commented a hockey game in the NHL for around 5 minutes. The game was between St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings.
