Joe: The Angels are killing Mussina softly.
Joe: In sports, there's really nothing like postseason baseball in terms of drawing story lines, coming to conclusions, watching stories develop. In the Yankees-Red Sox series, Games 4 and 5 were two of the most thrilling games you'd want to see, and when you have a buildup like that, people are going to be excited to see Games 6 and 7. In football, the games can be just as thrilling, but they stand on their own. A regular-season game in the NFL has almost a playoff feel some weeks.
Joe: Ah, the only stat football fans really care about... is the point spread.
Joe: Houston and Chicago are pitching heavy. They're two teams that can run the base paths. We saw it in the ALCS and the NLCS. These teams will squeeze to get runs in. The White Sox have a little more pop, but I don't see the offenses going nuts on either side. I think it's going to be a long series, an even series.
Joe: I think this is a throwback World Series to the pitching-heavy days. Honestly, I think the two best teams are playing, and you can't always say that. I think this looks like a long World Series.
Joe: We tried to sell the heck out of the Red Sox not winning in 86 years. Here's a team that hasn't won in 88 years.
Also in 1996, Joe became the youngest man to do a national broadcast for a World Series at the age of 27.
Joe was first hired by Fox in 1994 at the age of 25 and became the youngest man ever to announce a regular schedule of National Football League games on network television.
In the summer of 2006, Joe has appeared in several humorous television commercials for Holiday Inn.
Joe began announcing baseball games, doing play-by-play for the then-Louisville Redbirds, a minor league affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, and was the reporter for ESPN's coverage of the Triple-A All-Star Game.
On February 6, 2005, Joe called his first Super Bowl, Super Bowl 39, with the New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles.
He began his broadcasting career in 1989 while still in college.
