Joe Buck was on the Dan Patrick Show earlier this week and, inevitably, the topic of Barry Bonds and his 756th homer surfaced. Patrick lobbed Buck a potential long ball when he asked the distinctly recognizable voice of the MLB to describe exactly how he would make the call if he were on the mic when Bonds passed Hank Aaron for the all-time home run record.

For some reason, we don't think that Buck is real thrilled about the idea of Bonds moving up the ladder. Perhaps it's the way Buck had Bonds foul a pair of balls off his stick before he finally goes yard. Or maybe it was the less than enthusiastic "Yea, Barry Bonds is the new home run king." You can just imagine the uninterested Buck looking through the funny pages of the day's paper and sipping on a cup of coffee while he makes the call.
