Ford C. Frick Award
This
excellence in baseball broadcasting award was first given in 1978 to
recognize the broadcaster for his or her major contributions to
baseball.
The Ford C.
Frick Award winners are selected by a committee of baseball executives
and media personnel and the trophy is given during the annual
induction ceremonies at the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Current (2003) committee members are Bob Costas, Joe Garagiola, Ernie
Harwell, Joe Morgan, Vin Scully and Chuck Thompson.
The winners of the
Ford C. Frick Award are not truly "members" of the
hall of fame. Their names
are inscribed on an exhibit called Scribes and Mikemen outside of the
main library at the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
