Joe Buck has a date in Cooperstown, New York, in July.
It was 39 years ago that he made his first visit to “The Home of Baseball.” In 1987, the three newest members to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum took to the podium and delivered their acceptance speeches. Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Billy Williams, and Ray Dandridge officially joined baseball’s elite club. Also, on that day, Jack Buck, Joe Buck’s father, primarily known for his many decades as the radio voice of MLB’s St. Louis Cardinals, was recognized as a Ford C. Frick Award winner.
