Joe Buck returns to MLB booth to call Rangers-Cardinals game with Chip Caray

​Joe Buck will join St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster Chip Caray to call the game versus the Texas Rangers tonight.

ST. LOUIS — Buck and Caray are back, once again. 

Joe Buck will join St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster Chip Caray to call the game versus the Texas Rangers tonight. Pregame coverage starts at 6 p.m., with the first pitch at 6:45 p.m. 

Buck and Caray were originally scheduled to call the Cubs-Cardinals game on Friday, May 24, but it was postponed due to weather. 

The Caray-Buck broadcast booth will be a throwback to the 1950s and 60s, when Joe Buck's father Jack and Chip Caray's grandfather Harry called games for the Cardinals Radio Network. Jack and Harry called Cardinals games together on KMOX Radio from 1954-59 and 1961-69, a team press release said.

Joe Buck got his start broadcasting Cardinals games on Fox Sports Midwest and the Cardinals Radio Network from 1991 to 2007.

The Caray broadcasting family is prolific, with Caray being the third generation of baseball broadcasters, and it didn't stop with him. His twin sons, Chris and Stefan, are also baseball broadcasters with the Oakland Athletics and Double-A Amarillo Sod Poodles, the team said in the press release.

Joe Buck has a history of calling Rangers-Cardinals games. 

He called the end of Game 6 of the 2011 World Series when Cardinals' David Freese hit a walk-off home run in the 11th against the Rangers, sending the series to a Game 7.
