Sports fans see Joe Buck everywhere: broadcasting one of the biggest games in the NFL every week, calling the World Series every year, announcing the Super Bowl every three years. They know his father, Jack Buck, is a broadcasting legend and that he was beloved in his adopted hometown of St. Louis. Yet they have no idea who Joe really is. Or how he got here. In Lucky Bastard, Joe takes the listener into the broadcast booth and into his childhood home. Hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking, this is a book that any sports fan will love.

Where does Lucky Bastard rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A really honest and open book that was a great listen. It is cool to hear Joe's story and his views on the sports/events he covers. Anyone who is a football/baseball fan should listen to this book!

Historia4 out of 5 stars 78
The pro football season of 1963 was dominated by the unexpected. In April, months prior to the beginning of play, it was revealed that two All-Star players, Paul Hornung and Alex Karras, were gambling on the sport and would be suspended from play for at least a year. Even worse, in May, one of the league’s bigger-than-life personalities, Big Daddy Lipscomb, was found dead, with police saying he perished from a heroin overdose, something those who knew him best still dispute.

Great content, Terrible Narrator
Revisado: 05-04-17
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would love to recommend this book but the narrators inability to property pronounce a majority of the main character's names is insulting to the audience. For anyone who is even remotely familiar with sports or the NFL this should never be an issue. The author/publisher must have found one of the few people who cannot properly pronounce Paul Hornung's name. It is so distracting from the storyline that it is nearly impossible to enjoy the content of the book. I understand audiobooks are a newer technology but it is insanity how not one person caught this throughout what I'm guessing is multiple steps in the audio process before this is release.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Clouds over the Goalpost?
The narrators inability to properly pronounce multiple names.
What didn’t you like about Noah Michael Levine’s performance?
He has clearly never followed, researched, inquired, prepared for his job in pronouncing names of relatively famous athletes. For someone who's job it is to properly read/pronounce names/places/things this should be the first thing Noah should prepare for. Also, a terrible job by any editor to not stop Noah and give him the proper pronunciation of multiple names.
Could you see Clouds over the Goalpost being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No
Any additional comments?
If someone is going to produce/narrate a sports book; please get one person who has an ounce of sports background. It is insulting to the readers who have an interest in these items.
