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!
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.
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.
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.
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. 😂
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!"
It seemed like overcoming that vocal chord ailment he had in 2011 gave him a new perspective with having his voice fully back. 2012-onwards Joe Buck is definitely one of the top voices out there, with so many big-moment calls. Big Papi grand slam, Ishikawa wins the pennant, the Cubs 2016 run in general, the Minneapolis Miracle, 28-3, the list goes on and on.
Loved his response to Peyton Manning, who asked him, "During blowout games, do you ever wish you could have someone in the booth to interview?" Joe Buck: "I had that thought when your Broncos were playing the Seahawks in the Super Bowl."😂
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.
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
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 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.
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!
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!
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
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.
Here are some Joe Buck calls from baseball (honorable mentions): Mark Whiten’s 4 homer game against the Reds, 1993 (watch till the end): ruclips.net/video/KlZNCjURSWk/видео.htmlsi=YacJ8s45PGnl3HvY Jim Leyritz’s HR in Game 4 of the 1996 World Series: ruclips.net/video/k5Xl4VvgU_w/видео.htmlsi=y9JteQW9jbyo2h5L
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.
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.

Buck on golf - and Fox on golf, honestly - was an experiment that probably ended too soon. Very glad this call was there!
Joe's voice is iconic... He is magnificent at his job & he nails the big moment now
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.
LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM, JOE BUCK IS A PRO AT HIS JOB.
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.

@@FungiRy91Get out off 2010 brodie.
Mark McGwire's 62 is waaaaay too low. That was a masterclass by Buck
The Michael Cole of the NFL legend
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
12:52 - Like father, like son
maybe i’m looking to far into it but hearing buck say “the grand slam” gives me chills every time
majestic call
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.
As a Seahawks fan hearing “Seattle’s going to the Super Bowl” forever lives in my head.

MANNING LOBS IT, BURRESS ALONE.....TOUCHDOWN NEW YORK!!!
My favorite call before my Pops passed away he was so happy
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!"
50-41 felt like all Packer pain
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.
I cannot believe this man stopped calling MLB games
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! 👌
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.
8:30 One of my favorite calls in sports history.
even as a cardinals fan i do agree

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
Loved his response to Peyton Manning, who asked him, "During blowout games, do you ever wish you could have someone in the booth to interview?"
Joe Buck: "I had that thought when your Broncos were playing the Seahawks in the Super Bowl."😂
Buck is great. Hes among the best.
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
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.
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 gotta say his homage to his father was class.
I honestly miss Joe Buck
Diggs, Sideline, Touchdown 😎SKOL
pass is caught... Diggs... SIDELINE, TOUCHDOWN, UNBELIEVABLE, VIKINGS WIN IT!
Probably the best call in sports.
Buck is honestly the GOAT commentator
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
Joe Buck is one of my favorite announcers of all time
Mitchell....Mitchell.....MITCHELL.
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.
Idk how you made this without your ears bleeding
Brandon Woodruff HR off Kershaw in game one of the 2018 NLCS is my fave. Didn't see it here
NFL on Fox isn't the same without him....
You just knew that #1 was gonna be the Minneapolis miracle
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.
Joe Buck really is one of the greatest ever man. He’s alwaysssss in his bag calling baseball games
I ain't never seen him hype in baseball game😭
#49, #47, #45, #38, #13, #11, #8, and #2 are my favorites.

Was this produced by amazing Joe himself? Because it’s the BEST RUclips video ever made!!!
Get a biography ever play!!
I would’ve found room on this list for his call of jorge soler’s game 6 homer in the 2021 WS
Jim Leyritz's HR in the 1996 World Series not being on this list is criminal
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
My favorite Joe Buck calls are #7,2,and 1
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!
Now in ESPN on Monday Night Football with Troy Aikman
NO FLAGS!
Love all the astros highlights, easily the best dynasty ever and best team!! No other team even compares
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

The voice of my childhood
There were several calls from the Braves 2021 World Series that should be in here.
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!!)
I would've put the Freese walkoff as number, but can't argue with this list
He should start calling NBA & College basketball games

#42 cut out the best part hoFUnngaaa🤣
I never knew that Joe Buck called golf.
One call that is missing here is Howie Kendrick's Game 7 Seventh Inning home run in the 2019 World Series.
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.
I can't believe the 2016 World Series is number 2 .for sure I thought it would be number 1
As "bad" as a call it is, the Randy Moss moon call should be on here
So many Green Bay Packers moments... Good and bad we've been through it all
No love for "Caught by Tyree!"?
Its Caught DIGGS, SIDELINE, TOUCHDOWN, VIKINGS WIN IT 🔥🔥🔥
#30 Best day of my life!
#30 My favorite
Floater, centerfield, the Diamondbacks are world champions
Someone could have potentially chased down Jackson though!…🤣🤣
#3 and #2 should be first and second. Both clear the choice for #1
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.
This is really just a compilation of the Packers breaking my heart every year
Diggs. Sideline. Touchdown. Unbelievable. Vikings win it.
That hurts every saints fan's soul
My favorite one is: Mitchell... Mitchell... Mitchell...
That call on Desean Jackson’s punt return is top notch
I know he had vocal cord problems but I like to think it’s just hard to impress him

Have of these are with the packers or against
The best commentator ever. But i feel like who ever made this video hates Greenbay lol, hater
Never mind, i take my comment back, but Joe Buck is the best commentator ever
