Joe Buck might retire from baseball broadcasting after contract expires in 2019

Joe Buck, the lead play-by-play voice for Fox Sports who has called 19 World Series since 1996, says he’s considering leaving his baseball responsibilities behind once his current contract expires.
Buck first hinted at the life-altering decision during a podcast interview with Brad Straubinger on Dec. 7. He expanded on his comments this past Tuesday during a Q&A session with 590 The Fan’s Tim McKiernan, essentially confirming that he’s prepared to walk away from his baseball gig following the 2019 World Series.
“Yeah, I think I — I love it — but I’ve been doing it for a long time and I feel like somebody else should do it. I’ve done enough. I’m signed for three more World Series, and that’ll be 22 — which is stupid to even think about. If somebody said right now, before I walk outta here, you’re done, I’ve had the greatest career miles beyond anything I could have ever dreamed.
But I would like to get some of my time back and be at home, be in St. Louis, be with my wife and watch my kids, even though they’re 20 and 17, and doing their own thing. I’ve been gone a lot this year, and I’m not crying about it. I love it. But I need to take stuff out.”

He was doing NFL games for FOX before he even was assigned the World Series.

Nothing better, imo, than being a dad. He realizes that

Well he realized that a little too late

He's had a way better career than his dad did. Joe Buck haters are lamer than shite.

Joe Buck is a cheesedick motherfricker at times, but not a bad broadcaster IMO
Posted on 12/18/16 at 9:08 am to ballscaster
You have never heard Jack Buck... you have zero say in this....

I honestly think he's a better NFL announcer than MLB (unless he's with Smoltz).
Posted on 12/18/16 at 9:11 am to Bench McElroy
We'll all miss watching a human penis call the big games.

I agree. Buck and Aikman are fantastic together imo

I would prefer he retired from golf. He is God awful commentating during golf events.

I hate when pompous sports people say crap like this. Dude work 4 hours per day once a week, must be hard to fit family into that busy life.

What he means is that he wants to spend every waking moment banging his hot arse wife
