ST. LOUIS — For a lot of people who grew up and lived in St. Louis, Jack Buck's voice was the sound of summer.

Now, you'll have a chance to relive some of Buck's most famous moments at the mic with a new show on MLB Network.

The network's latest installment in its "The Sounds of Baseball" series will focus exclusively on the Hall of Fame Cardinals' announcer.

Bob Costas and Tom Verducci will host the hour-long program that begins at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 22. The episode will re-air at 10:30 that night as well.

Costas and Verducci will touch on Bob Gibson's no-hitter in 1971, Lou Brock breaking the all-time stolen base record and the "go crazy, folks" call from Ozzie Smith's Game 5 walk-off home run in the 1985 NLCS.
