Joe Buck, a sportscaster, has signed a deal with the Penguin Random House imprint, Dutton. Buck plans to write a memoir about his career and the relationship he shared with his father, Jack Buck.
Executive editor Jill Schwartzman acquired the manuscript. The publication date has been set for 2016.
Here’s more from the press release: “Buck recounts some of the incredible moments he’s experienced in both his career and his personal life and will also share his unvarnished opinions about the biggest topics and stories in sports. With humor, heart, and wickedly funny wisdom, the book will tell the surprising and revealing true story behind the guy who has announced seventeen World Series, four Super Bowls, seventeen MLB All-Star games, the US (golf) Open, a live bass-fishing ‘event’ and a Robbie Knievel motorcycle jump in Las Vegas.”
