Joseph Francis Buck (born April 25, 1969)[1][2] is an American sportscaster for ESPN.
The son of sportscaster Jack Buck, he worked for Fox Sports from its 1994 inception through 2022, including roles as lead play-by-play announcer for Fox's National Football League and Major League Baseball coverage. He served as a television play-by-play announcer for the World Series over a 25-year span from 1996 to 2021 (with the exceptions of 1997 and 1999, in which Bob Costas called those particular World Series for NBC). He is known for his distinctive smooth and focused style of playcalling.
In 2022, Buck moved to ESPN from Fox Sports. He is the lead play-by-play announcer for Monday Night Football.[3]
