Fathers and Sons in Baseball Broadcasting: The Carays, Brennamans, Bucks and Kalases

Tony Silvia

In this work, first-hand accounts and original interviews illuminate how the father-son relationship thrives because of baseball, and, sometimes, in spite of it. Each of these men bears a legendary name in baseball broadcasting - Caray, Brennaman, Buck and Kalas - and some can count four generations of men whose voices defined a team. All of the sons relate how their fathers’ names opened doors for them but concurrently raised expectations of how they should perform, and all relate how they learned from their fathers’ (and grandfathers’) triumphs and mistakes. Throughout the work, a clear picture of baseball as a generational bridge emerges. It includes a foreword by Chip Caray, speeches by Joe Buck about his father Jack, and articles by Skip Caray, Chip Caray and Marty Brennaman.
