I will be honest. Joe Buck sort of ruins the World Series for me. I am used to the great broadcasters like Mel Allen, Red Barber, Vin Skully, Phil Rizzuto, etc.
Joe Buck has no personality and can’t tell a decent story like the great ones could. Why was he selected to announce these games?
Even Ronald Reagan at WHO radio was a better announcer than Joe Buck.

WIN WIN ANDREW EUGENE PETTITTE!
Bob Costas is a GREAT World Series announcer.
Sean McDonough was pretty good on CBS in the 90s. (Phillies fans remember “Down the left field line ! way back ! gone !”)
Joe Buck has ruined TV baseball period.
He blathers the obvious, offers no insight (other than prescripted “drama”).
And his drone is such a drag.
Much rather listen to John Sterling (he’s on WCBS 880 AM in the NYC area)
Because his Dad was a great announcer. What makes it even more infuriating is that “humble” Joe Jr constantly acknowledges the fact that his easy life was handed to him on a platter.
