Joe Buck gets Hall of Fame's Frick Award, joins Jack to become first father-son duo to earn honor
- On Wednesday, Joe Buck was announced as the 2026 Ford C. Frick Award winner and will be honored on July 25, 2026, in Cooperstown, New York.
- The Hall's selection panel of past winners and historians picked the ballot after Buck returned following last year's drop, joining repeat candidate Dan Shulman and newcomers John Rooney and Brian Anderson.
- Among his milestones are 135 World Series games, 21 All-Star Games, and 26 League Championship Series for Fox Sports, calling his first at age 27 in 1996.
- The award links Buck to his late father, Jack Buck, St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster and 1987 Frick Award winner, as the 50th recipient and only father-son duo, and Buck said his best memory was the 1987 Hall of Fame induction in Cooperstown.
- The honor further cements Buck's multi-sport broadcasting status as he becomes the sixth to win both the Frick Award and the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award; the Hall said the moment will come full circle on July 27, 2026.
