October is a pretty insane month for Joe Buck.
The longtime FOX announcer is the network’s lead broadcaster for both the NFL and Major League Baseball. So, Buck is often jetting across the country, calling both the regular season NFL games and the World Series for FOX.
This weekend, Buck is on the call for the World Series. The Atlanta Braves are leading the Houston Astros, 3-1, heading into Game 5 on Sunday night. Buck could be calling the final MLB game of the year on Sunday night.
With such an insane work schedule, a strong family life is important.
Buck is married to a fellow reporter in Michelle Beisner-Buck. The happy couple was married in 2014 and welcomed twins into the world in 2018.
The happy couple was reportedly set up through a friend in Rich Eisen. The NFL Network host recommended Buck to Beisner, who was reportedly very hesitant at first.
Eisen reportedly told Beisner that an announcer wanted her phone number. She tried to guess who it was.
From The Ringer:
“Don’t you want to know who it is?” Eisen asked.
“I started rattling off names,” Beisner said last month. “I was like, ‘Troy Aikman.’ ‘Cris Collinsworth.’ ‘Al Michaels,’ I even said.”
“No,” Eisen said.
“Please don’t say it’s Joe Buck,” Beisner said.
“Well,” Eisen said, “it is Joe Buck and why would you say that?”
Beisner reportedly thought Buck was arrogant. However, she later realized that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
“I mean, the complete and opposite end of the spectrum,” she told The Ringer.
The rest, of course, is history. Buck and Beisner have been happily married for years and continue to dominate the sports media world together.
Sunday night, Buck will be on the call of Game 5 of the World Series between Atlanta and Houston.
