Early in his career, he was rather pedestrian with showing genuine emotion. But ever since 2012, he’s stepped up big time and not letting any insecurities get into his head and now he’s one of the best out there
I don't think he needs to. He's a "presenting" type of commentating rather than the "reactionary" type Like his commentary in ESPN's NFL games are quite off, because sometimes he's being emotional for no reason He just needs to adjust his commentary accordingly to the moments and not being too real to himself, IMO
@@redpillfreedom6692 SI has an old article on it: “A few weeks before the start of the 2011 baseball season, Buck underwent his eighth hair replacement procedure. But something went wrong during the six-hour-plus procedure. When he woke up from the anesthetic, Buck could not speak. He believes his vocal cord was paralyzed because of a cuff the surgery center used to protect him during the procedure. A doctor not part of the operation theorized to Buck that the cuff probably got jostled during the procedure and sat on the nerve responsible for firing his left vocal cord.”
@@robustbottlecapI can definitely see that. I do think he’s been “over-commentating” a little bit as of recently. His best calls IMO are the huge games he calls where he lets the moment speak for itself with some awesome well timed commentary. That Marshawn Lynch touchdown in the 2014 NFCCG is probably the best example of that.
That’s because Joe Buck knows more than team announcers (but he just didn’t know GB fans frequently moon away teams buses at Lambeau) But he’s still the BEST - booster seat and all
Glad to see Buck's call of the Cubs winning the World Series got the #2 spot, for all the grief he got over the years he couldn't have captured that moment any more perfectly.
6:19 "GOT IT!!" There's something I thought I'd never see Joe Buck announce in sports history. Normally I know Joe for doing baseball and football, but not golf. But man, I love how he said "GOT IT!!" when Gary Woodland sank that putt!
Joe Buck gets far too much criticism imo, me included from previous years. From 2010 onwards I think he's one of the very best to do it. The fact I could recite at least 30 of these shows you just how good he is.
I really think his early career was held back by having Pat Summerall as the obvious go-to model within Fox, and with learning football on the job that meant an awful lot. Very few announcers can make that level of minimalism work, and Buck wasn't one of them. He's stopped being imitation Pat for 15-ish years now and he's all the better for it, and somehow I think an amazing number of people still think he never changed even as the change happened in front of the biggest audiences in television.
@@FungiRy91massively disagree mate. He’s worked on his craft and I think ever since his move to ESPN in particular he’s been reborn. An unbelievable announcer.
I've been one of the guys who criticized Buck early on, and I still think his sparse kind of style lends itself better to baseball than football. But there's no denying that he's stepped up his game with calls like the Minneapolis Miracle.
It took a long time for Joe Buck to blossom. But when he did, he gave us some amazing calls like the end of the 108 year drought and Minneapolis Miracle. It only got better when he moved to ESPN, where i think he's at his best currently. Also the man can beat someone in a roast battle. 😂
That cubs team in 2016 are the best ever to come back in games. They did it all season! Winning the World Series is one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Now you just have to add, "Nearside, I don't see any flags, Gipson inside the 30, its the Jets, AND HES GONNA GO!!! JETS WIN IT! TOUCHDOWN! ROOKIE XAVIER GIPSON GAME OVER!"
Actually happening! There's going to be a four-network rotation in the future under the latest TV deal; Super Bowl LXI in 2027 is the first ABC appearance in that rotation.
How could, "we will see you tomorrow night." Not get the top spot? By far his best call and a great omage to his late father and he's a cardinals fan as he was their play by play guy for a number of years... epic.
No way the Diamondbacks WS winner call is lower than the Yankees winning in 1996, let alone most others. When you defeat a 3-time defending World Series winner with a walk-off, plus coming out of 9/11, automatic top-5!
Every call by this man is the greatest of all time. He's the Morgan freeman of sports broadcasting. Idk why everyone hates on Joe Buck. His voice is amazing
I was happy to see Ortiz's grand slam in the 2013 ALCS make the top 5 - Buck's call and tone of voice really set the scene to match how hard Fenway Park was rocking - but I would have put the Cubs winning the World Series as Number 1.
Here are some Joe Buck calls from baseball (honorable mentions): Mark Whiten’s 4 homer game against the Reds, 1993 (watch till the end): th-cam.com/video/KlZNCjURSWk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YacJ8s45PGnl3HvY Jim Leyritz’s HR in Game 4 of the 1996 World Series: th-cam.com/video/k5Xl4VvgU_w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y9JteQW9jbyo2h5L
His Dad like Vin Scully were two of the greats. Jack was the voice of many of my summers growing up! Hate on Joe as much as you want.....Joe is good....very good!
Man basketball and football may be more entertaining moment to moment, but there is nothing as epic as a game-defining, playoff baseball moment. Travis Ishikawa. Rajai Davis. Freese. Montero. Unsung heroes man.
I never understood the hate on Joe Buck. He’s definitely better than guys like Matt Vasgersian or Joe Davis who seem to think the key to good announcing is just screaming as loudly as possible
the brett phillips walkoff in the world series might have been his best call, just for the sheet chaos of the situation and how on top of things he was despite that
Im definitely more of a fan of him calling baseball. Im not even sure why. His best call ever was that Cardinals/Rangers World Series game, hands down.
Saw quite a few Astros highlights in here. Just a quick reminder for people watching this and for everyone else in the world as well, the Astros do need to return that 2017 trophy. Oh and also the Astros are pure evil.
I used to hate this announcer, now I think he's underrated, actually, no, he may be one of the best now. ESPN really brought the power in his voice. I still quote some of these calls to this day. #1 will always be his best call.
he's really not that bad guys. he was garbage in the 2000s, but since the 2010s he's not that bad. i will admit "back at the wall" is annoying but still he's not too bad
His call of Big Papi’s 2004 walk off was better than #3 but it’s not even on the list. I have disagreements on rankings, but the only other thing I can think of that is missing entirely is his call of Wong getting picked off to end the game in 2013.
Joe Buck is damn near insufferable as a commentator. THAT SAID he called the Royals world series win in 2015 and the Chiefs super bowl win in 2019. for that, I can never fully hate him. if nothing else, he is passionate and enthusiastic when the situation calls for it
Early in his career, he was rather pedestrian with showing genuine emotion. But ever since 2012, he’s stepped up big time and not letting any insecurities get into his head and now he’s one of the best out there
Exactly, he got so much better after the throat/vocal cord problem he suffered after botched hair plugs in 2011
@@inigomontoya7462Why would botched hair plugs cause a vocal cord problem?

Buck on golf - and Fox on golf, honestly - was an experiment that probably ended too soon. Very glad this call was there!
I miss him doing baseball ever since he went to ESPN. They should’ve offered him the Sunday Night Baseball gig along with Monday Night football.

It’s aikman who’s inept!! Joe buck is fine.
@@FungiRy91Get out off 2010 brodie.
Joe's voice is iconic... He is magnificent at his job & he nails the big moment now
As a Vikings fan, #1 gives my chills every time. Though #19 and the interception that came before it give me nightmares

Buck sucks
LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM, JOE BUCK IS A PRO AT HIS JOB.
Mark McGwire's 62 is waaaaay too low. That was a masterclass by Buck
7:57 & 8:18
2 of the most iconic closing calls of any sports game, ever
i have NEVER heard either of these😭🙏💀
@@real_kerbzYTsame, he’s probably just biased with the Red Sox🤡🤦♂️
Sorry, but 12:58 wins. Not that those 2 are any less important!
There are some good Yankees World Series winning calls
@finsforthewin18 the only thing Good related to the Yankees is their losses
maybe i’m looking to far into it but hearing buck say “the grand slam” gives me chills every time
majestic call
As a Seahawks fan hearing “Seattle’s going to the Super Bowl” forever lives in my head.

That cubs team in 2016 are the best ever to come back in games. They did it all season! Winning the World Series is one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Maybe for you Cubs fans, lol.
The Michael Cole of the NFL legend
12:52 - Like father, like son
Now you just have to add, "Nearside, I don't see any flags, Gipson inside the 30, its the Jets, AND HES GONNA GO!!! JETS WIN IT! TOUCHDOWN! ROOKIE XAVIER GIPSON GAME OVER!"
For my 23 years of watching MLB on FOX hearing Joe Buck brings back memories especially the ejections and benches clear.
World Series as well.
MANNING LOBS IT, BURRESS ALONE.....TOUCHDOWN NEW YORK!!!
My favorite call before my Pops passed away he was so happy
50-41 felt like all Packer pain
I know the Cubs win was special but his best call that night was the David homerun late to tie the game. Should've put that one in honestly.
It is in here 10:42
@@nolanjordan1930Thanks brother! 👌
I cannot believe this man stopped calling MLB games
We all knew what #1 was, all-time call
Was thinking that the entire time. My favorite call of all time
11:03 "ALTUVE!!! HAS JUST SENT THE ASTROS TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!"
Thanks for the trigger warning
sent*
Putting that right after the Rajai Davis home run, so we get back-to-back Aroldis Chapman blank stares was beautiful.
Joe Buck...
THE GREATEST, BRODCASTER, OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES
no
One of the best, but of all time, not even close! Vin Scully & Jack Buck, they leave him in the dust
8:30 One of my favorite calls in sports history.
even as a cardinals fan i do agree
I love the way he says “high drive into right” with confidence
7:27 not even a cards fan but something ab this call gives me chills everytime
Imagine if ESPN aired the Super Bowl, Joe Buck would be there calling it
Actually happening! There's going to be a four-network rotation in the future under the latest TV deal; Super Bowl LXI in 2027 is the first ABC appearance in that rotation.
SWEET😎🏈
Since when there's a super bowl in ABC
Beginning with Super Bowl 61 in 2027
Buck is great. Hes among the best.
How could, "we will see you tomorrow night." Not get the top spot? By far his best call and a great omage to his late father and he's a cardinals fan as he was their play by play guy for a number of years... epic.
I gotta say his homage to his father was class.
I honestly miss Joe Buck

I thank God everyday joe buck doesn't do NBA, I'm sorry but he just takes away from so many of these big moments.
10:45 Pissed me off because it was the Cubs, but Buck hung with that the whole way with excitement.
Every call by this man is the greatest of all time. He's the Morgan freeman of sports broadcasting. Idk why everyone hates on Joe Buck. His voice is amazing

Mitchell....Mitchell.....MITCHELL.
Jim Leyritz's HR in the 1996 World Series not being on this list is criminal
I think the Freese homerun call should be #1 honoring his dad with the Cardinals in that moment
His Dad like Vin Scully were two of the greats. Jack was the voice of many of my summers growing up! Hate on Joe as much as you want.....Joe is good....very good!
NFL on Fox isn't the same without him....
I ain't never seen him hype in baseball game😭
Man basketball and football may be more entertaining moment to moment, but there is nothing as epic as a game-defining, playoff baseball moment.
Travis Ishikawa. Rajai Davis. Freese. Montero.
Unsung heroes man.
That ishikawa homer gives me goosebumps to this day
Buck is honestly the GOAT commentator
The Tampa Bay vs Green Bay game was the biggest fix to make sure that Tom Brady was the first quarterback to play the Superbowl in his own stadium
Brandon Woodruff HR off Kershaw in game one of the 2018 NLCS is my fave. Didn't see it here
Joe Buck is one of my favorite announcers of all time
Joe Buck really is one of the greatest ever man. He’s alwaysssss in his bag calling baseball games
#49, #47, #45, #38, #13, #11, #8, and #2 are my favorites.
Also would like to see Al MIchaels' 50 Greatest calls of all time
Also, Gus Johnson, Verne Lundquist, and Sean McDonough.
Al Michael number one would be Super Bowl 43.
@@shiskey54 that call is great, but the Miracle on Ice call has to be number 1
I would’ve found room on this list for his call of jorge soler’s game 6 homer in the 2021 WS
Diggs, Sideline, Touchdown 😎SKOL
Was this produced by amazing Joe himself? Because it’s the BEST TH-cam video ever made!!!
Get a biography ever play!!
As a White Sox fan, glad you included the "Corn Game," but nothing from the 2005 run? Check the Podsednik call - legendary.
His call of that play was atrocious
All I’ve seen is that Joe Buck has called a lot of Green Bay’s misery in the playoffs
And success, just not as much(BJ RAJI!!)
no way you dont have the rams niners ‘22 nfc championship finale in here. great call by buck
All those 2017 World Series Game 5 calls were for nothing
Now in ESPN on Monday Night Football with Troy Aikman
You just knew that #1 was gonna be the Minneapolis miracle
NO FLAGS!
I never understood the hate on Joe Buck. He’s definitely better than guys like Matt Vasgersian or Joe Davis who seem to think the key to good announcing is just screaming as loudly as possible
Have of these are with the packers or against
My favorite Joe Buck calls are #7,2,and 1
Surprised you found 50
pass is caught... Diggs... SIDELINE, TOUCHDOWN, UNBELIEVABLE, VIKINGS WIN IT!
Probably the best call in sports.
There were several calls from the Braves 2021 World Series that should be in here.
the brett phillips walkoff in the world series might have been his best call, just for the sheet chaos of the situation and how on top of things he was despite that
No love for "Caught by Tyree!"?
As "bad" as a call it is, the Randy Moss moon call should be on here
#42 cut out the best part hoFUnngaaa🤣
The voice of my childhood

I would've put the Freese walkoff as number, but can't argue with this list
He should start calling NBA & College basketball games
So many Green Bay Packers moments... Good and bad we've been through it all
I never knew that Joe Buck called golf.
#30 My favorite
Floater, centerfield, the Diamondbacks are world champions
Love all the astros highlights, easily the best dynasty ever and best team!! No other team even compares

Its Caught DIGGS, SIDELINE, TOUCHDOWN, VIKINGS WIN IT 🔥🔥🔥
One call that is missing here is Howie Kendrick's Game 7 Seventh Inning home run in the 2019 World Series.
he's really not that bad guys. he was garbage in the 2000s, but since the 2010s he's not that bad. i will admit "back at the wall" is annoying but still he's not too bad
Someone could have potentially chased down Jackson though!…🤣🤣
Where’s “Mitchell… Mitchell… Mitchell.”? His best call. Thought it’d be #1.
How was #1 ranked tenth?
I wish Buck still called the World Series
Same
His call of Big Papi’s 2004 walk off was better than #3 but it’s not even on the list. I have disagreements on rankings, but the only other thing I can think of that is missing entirely is his call of Wong getting picked off to end the game in 2013.

As a Green Bay fan this video is really tough to watch…
Stairs rips one into the night
#3 and #2 should be first and second. Both clear the choice for #1
