For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
June 19, 2002
Statement by the President
I am deeply saddened by the death of Jack Buck. Jack endeared himself
to sports fans throughout the country with his colorful commentary and
love of America's pastime. An honoree of the National Baseball Hall of
Fame, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Radio Hall of Fame, Jack covered
sports in St. Louis, Missouri and across the nation for the last 50
years. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. He will be
missed.
