It's been a great World Series. But wouldn't it have been even better if Vin Scully had called the games? Wow, what a voice he has. He is a respected source of knowledge on the game.

Yes, it would have been nice. However, I thought Joe Buck did a pretty good job. It's obvious his game is baseball. He sure is a fish out of water when it comes to broadcasting golf!

I recall his dad (Jack) during the 60's - 80's...and yes, his bros. Bob, who often tackled deeper social issues aligned w/ sport while on the air in Evansville in the 80's & 90's. Never could figure out why the "rift" between Jack & Bob, as they never spoke to each other.

I have a completely different opinion of Joe Buck - I think he stinks at calling baseball games. My primary issue with him is that he doesn't let the moment speak for itself. He always has to put in his catch-phrase and one-liners to hype up something. Houston just caught the last out of the World Series...just shut up and let the moment marinate. Let the viewer experience that unbridled joy without adding to your pre-determined tagline to it.

It's like he's always trying to find the perfect place to insert his Al Michaels Miracle on Ice call. It's too manufactured for my taste.
