Joe Buck on the Island 5?

I know - I can't believe it either.  I used to be a diehard Red Sox fan.  Starting in 1998, I diligently followed the Red Sox.  I taped their entire schedule, in Excel format (because I was a big geek, even back then), to my bedroom door, and meticulously tracked their progress for the entire season.  In 2004, I, along with every other Red Sox fan, stayed up religiously every night, even for those games against Anaheim that ran long and made for short nights and tired days at work.

And I, like every other Red Sox fan, hated Joe Buck because of his (obvious) bias for the New York Yankees and his (obvious) disdain for the Red Sox.  I knew plenty of people who felt the same way.  I know plenty of people who still feel that way.

But I don't watch baseball anymore.  And Joe Buck's kind of growing on me, especially with the recent batch of Super Bowl on Fox commercials - the ones that use the tagline "It's good to have a ring".




So I've decided to put him on the shortlist for serious consideration.  He'll be bumping David Beckham because I'm not quite ready to get rid of Zac Efron yet.  Thoughts?
