Yeah, it's not easy to be wrong in a column about why Tim McCarver doesn't deserve the Frick Award, but this guy manages it.
This is a pretty regular complaint around here but I don't know how accurate it is. Certainly in a very strict term, it IS accurate but it seems to me that within the field of baseball journalism/media the Frick Award is a de facto Hall of Fame.
Does anyone have any interaction with any of the folks who have received this honor? Is that how it is perceived by the recipients?
This drives me nuts. There *is* a "wing" of the HOF where their names are all listed and they give speeches at the HOF induction ceremony. You and all your fellow complainers are harping on a distinction without a difference.
That amused me also. The most poorly structured sentence of this whole rant is the one mocking McCarver's sentence structure.
I find that while I am grading student papers, I am unable to express myself in good grammatical terms. All eloquence leaves my writing, and I end up with short fragments instead. Maybe that's what happened to this dude.
I think "Is a Hall of Famer" vs. "Is not a Hall of Famer" is a pretty big difference.
In short, WTF are you talking about?
...wait, this guy wants to get into a fistfight over how we refer to baseball broadcasters who have won this award?
They used to.
eh, quit complaining
Is completely correct.
He isn't listed as a writer, but there is one.
Last year, the decision to move the writers and broadcasters awards to Saturday at Doubleday Field turned out to be a great decision. The crowd was good, and the inductees, based on their comments, felt like they were the centerpiece to the ceremony and not just an afterthought to the Sunday induction. It was a win-win, as some people like to say these days.
