Jack’s most famous call was a playoff walk-off homer by Ozzie Smtih. The Cardinals’ lead announcer yelled “Go crazy, folks! Go crazy!”

Jack was a former Marine with a drill sergeant’s no-nonsense tone who did national baseball and football telecasts as well as St. Louis Cardinals baseball broadcasts.

In the ‘60’s the best baseball announcing duo was Jack Buck and Harry Carey —go Cardinals! And, this was one of Jack’s last public appearances before he died. It was a 9/11 memorial held at Busch Stadium. I still tear up when I see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUyj8BrK1cU
