Jack Buck Spotlight:
Some voices just stay with you.
Not because they’re loud — but because they carry meaning.
For Cardinals fans, Jack Buck’s voice wasn’t just part of the game…
It was the game.
From Bob Gibson mowing ‘em down in the ‘60s…
To Ozzie Smith dancing across the turf in the ‘80s…
To a young Mark McGwire chasing home run history…
Jack Buck was always there — in your car, on your radio, in your living room.
His calls weren’t just memorable — they were legendary.
“Go crazy, folks! Go crazy!”
You can hear it, can’t you?
Ozzie’s walk-off in the ‘85 NLCS.
A moment frozen in time because Jack gave it life.
Or how about:
“I don’t believe what I just saw.”
That one wasn’t even a Cardinals game — but it became one of the most iconic calls in all of sports, because Jack Buck had that kind of magic.
He wasn’t trying to be a showman.
He just understood the moment, and he gave it the respect — and the soul — it deserved.
Jack called Super Bowls, World Series, Olympics…
but no matter how big the stage, his heart always belonged to St. Louis.
He was more than a broadcaster, he was part of the fabric of the city.
There was a warmth in his voice — a trust.
When he spoke, generations of Cardinals fans felt like everything was right in the world.
And when he passed in 2002, it felt like the game got a little quieter.
But his legacy?
It still echoes through Busch Stadium.
Jack Buck didn’t just call the game, he gave it heart.
And for Cardinals fans, he’ll always be the voice that brought the magic home.
