Agreed. The main factor has tempered my annoyance with young Buck over the
years is the whole father-son baseball dynamic he has going with his Dad; I
am corney enough about baseball and its many textures that I have a soft
spot in my heart for that. Now, that was a particularly spectacular game
last night, so he would have had to do something really bad to not be good,
but I thought the way he did it was just right - and credit to his partner
for not stepping on the moment. Credit too to both of them, who set the
whole thing up earlier in the game, when they were talking about World
Series that ended in game 6 home runs, and McGarver gave a nice
foreshadowing of Jack's call.

Goosebumps all around at my house (doesn't hurt that we are rooting for the
NL).
