Buck started broadcasting Cardinals games for [[KMOX]] radio in [[1954 St. Louis Cardinals season|1954]], teaming with [[Harry Caray]], [[Milo Hamilton]] (1954), and [[Joe Garagiola, Sr.|Joe Garagiola]] (from [[1955 St. Louis Cardinals season|1955]]). Buck was dropped from the Cardinals booth in [[1959 St. Louis Cardinals season|1959]] to make room for [[Buddy Blattner]]; the following [[1960 St. Louis Cardinals season|year]], he called Saturday ''[[Major League Baseball Game of the Week|Game of the Week]]'' telecasts for [[Major League Baseball on ABC|ABC]]. Buck was re-hired by the Cardinals in [[1961 St. Louis Cardinals season|1961]] after Blattner departed; Garagiola left after [[1962 St. Louis Cardinals season|1962]], leaving Caray and Buck as the team's broadcast voices from [[1963 St. Louis Cardinals season|1963]] through [[1969 St. Louis Cardinals season|1969]].

After Caray was fired by the Cardinals following the 1969 season, Buck ascended to the team's lead play-by-play role (1969 was also the year that Jack Buck divorced his first wife Alyce Larson&mdash;whom he had married in 1948 and had six children with&mdash;and married his second wife, Carole Lintzenich, who gave birth to their son [[Joe Buck]] in the same year).
