Wednesday, December 07, 2022
Following his 40th season as a MLB announcer, long-time Chicago Cubs‘ radio voice Pat Hughes has received one of the highest levels of recognition in the profession. That would be the Baseball Hall of Fame‘s Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting. The Hall announced that decision Wednesday:
This pick came after the Hall of Fame announced the 10 finalists in October. The other finalists were Dave Campbell, Joe Castiglione, Gary Cohen, Jacques Doucet, Tom Hamilton, Jerry Howarth, Ernie Johnson, Duane Kuiper, and Steve Stone.

1. crict Posted: December 07, 2022 at 03:37 PM (#6108572)He's also in poor health. The hope of him getting recognized before he passes aways seems slim now.
Just a real pro in addition to being a good listen.
Pat's just got a perfect voice for radio sports and he's outstanding at describing the action. Pairs well with any color guy. Above all though, he's got no schtick. Just pure, perfect competence.
We are all in the prison of our own perspectives. Congratulations to Pat, who makes a Cubs game more enjoyable.
