When Joe Buck joined ESPN back in 2022 to lead the network's Monday Night Football coverage, it meant a farewell to three decades as the lead voice in baseball.
But for Thursday's 2025 Opening Day, Buck made a temporary return to the MLB booth where he kicked off ESPN's coverage of Brewers-Yankees with a tribute to legendary Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker.
Uecker died in January at 90 years old. He spent six decades as an MLB broadcaster. And with the Brewers playing in the 2025 opener, it was only right for Buck and ESPN to start off with a tribute montage.
