Joe Buck Honors His Father with Game 6 Call

Categories: Cardinals

Jack and Joe Buck call their respective Game 6's from Kidd Video on Vimeo.

Twenty years ago, the late-great Jack Buck was doing the TV commentary for Game 6 of the 1991 World Series when Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins hit an 11th-inning home run to win the game and take the Atlanta Braves to a Game 7.

Jack Buck's call: "And we'll see ya' tomorrow night."

Last night it was Buck's son -- Joe Buck -- at the microphone when David Freese hit an 11-inning home run to take the World Series to Game 7.

Joe Buck's call: "We will see you tomorrow night."

Joe Buck had one of the greatest quotes I've ever heard in Game 6 when Lance Berkman tied the Game at 9 in the bottom of the 10th inning. He said " They just....won't.... go....away!

The timing of this quote spoken with a delay between each word sent chills down my spine.

Dude he didn't rip off anything.  This is Saint Louis.  Home of the real baseball fans.  If you love baseball then you love Joe Bucks call.  It is a part of history.  A great tribute to his Pop's.  RIP Jack Buck...I know you were smiling after the Mr. Freese hit that walk off blast.  Joe Buck...a class act!!  Let's go Redbirds.  Game 7 of the Fall Classic.  Bring home the championship!!!
