Great as my dad was - I would never have gotten my first job announcing if I didn't have the last name Buck - it's my mom, Carole, who has made the biggest difference. She was on Broadway back in the 1960s. She understands entertainment, has incredible instincts.

Never bite off so much in your job that you can't spend a lot of time with your family.

I live for baseball. That's how I grew up.

As far as sitting down and watching a sports event, that's just not part of my day or part of my night.

I do watch sports. How could I not? Just for self-preservation.

To me, baseball is, in some ways, other than my family and wife, my life, and it always will be.

I don't know who had a more tiresome, wall-to-wall schedule than my father, and I know what it's like to be a kid in that situation. He was gone a lot. He needed to be. I understood it. So did my mom.

I watched how happy broadcasting made him. And if you're close with your parent and you see they're happy doing something, it's only natural you want to follow in their footsteps.

There are a lot of people across the country, for as silly as this sounds, who obsess about hair loss.

Any surgery done to improve one's looks is not really something someone wants to talk about.
