Play x Play - Discussing "Lucky Bastard" by Joe Buck

from Stadium Scene’s Main Event · host Stadium Scene Media

In our next episode of "Play x Play," Kate and D.J. discuss "Lucky Bastard" by Joe Buck.  Pretty much all of us have seen Joe Buck call either an NFL or MLB game for FOX at some point in the last 30 years and he is often one of the more criticized announcers of our generation.  That being said, we discuss the book and overall thought it was very open, honest, and entertaining to the point that when it was released in 2016, several people had a change of heart about him.   In the episode, we go over some of our favorite chapters of the book, comment on his footnotes, his relationship with his famous father, Jack Buck, how a cheap plastic batting helmet may have saved his life, and talk about his unusual family situation growing up.  For September, we will be reading "It's Game Time Folks - The Quest for 30" by our good friend Mark Darden.  Be sure to check out both books on Amazon by clicking the links below.   Your purchase will pay us a small commission that helps keep Stadium Scene TV running and allows us to continue to grow and expand our operation.   Lucky Bastard "It's Game Time Folks: The Quest For 30" As usual, the video for this episode can be found on our YouTube channel.
