Yeah I don't think Buck is as hardcore as some others.

I think he more stories though then he is telling. With the Jays he was on the downside of the career that started in the mid 70s and was mostly backing up Ernie Whitt in Toronto in the mid 80s. But was part of the 1985 team to get to the ALCS, and he somehow moved his way up from the broadcast to manager of the team for 2 years, and then back to manager.

That said I prefer him as color (as he was with Hughson in TSN days, and now again with Shulman).
