A jogging Joe Buck made his way into AT&T Park
around 10 minutes before the start of the National League Championship Series
opener, ready to take on the second part of his unusual Sunday doubleheader.
Buck called the Giants-49ers football game for FOX at Candlestick Park earlier Sunday, and after the game
ended at around 4:30 p.m. PT, Buck made the seven-mile trek in around 35
minutes on a police-escorted motorized cable-car trolley in order to be in the
broadcast booth in time.
"I feel fine," Buck told MLB.com as he waited for
the elevator at AT&T
Park to bring him to the
broadcast booth. "I can't act like I'm playing in any of these two games
or anything. I'm just talking, and hey, I can talk all night."
Buck said he had never participated in such a rushed
two-game broadcast set, but that he wasn't going to miss a chance to call the
opener to the NLCS when the schedule provided the opportunity.
