Joe Buck: Bachelorette over baseball

Joe Buck was discussing baseball on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show this week -- especially comparing it with the NFL -- and wasn't genuflecting before the altar of the emerald chessboard. Sure, he was probably kidding when he said he'd prefer to watch The Bachelorette over a baseball game, but it was not exactly the kind of attitude you might have expected from Fox's voice of baseball. Afterward, Skip Bayless laid into him pretty good on First Take. Scroll down and listen to the clips. (Go past the Bayless and listen to Buck first, then go back to Bayless.)

I grew up in St. Louis, and I have to say that Joe Buck pales in comparison to his legendary father, Jack Buck. Joe seems like quite the opportunist, and seems more interested in making a name for himself than being a quality broadcaster.

About Ray Frager
Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
