Being recognized as one of MLB’s all-time broadcasting greats, it’s official now for Tom Hamilton. On Wednesday, the Cleveland Guardians’ radio announcer was voted the 49th winner of the prestigious Ford C. Frick Award.
“Tom is one of my favorite broadcast colleagues. He’s not only an incredibly talented announcer, he’s also a wonderfully outgoing, kind, and affable person. I love this guy. I listen to a lot of other broadcasters on the way home from our games and I’m just a big fan of his work,” longtime Pittsburgh Pirates’ broadcaster Greg Brown told The Epoch Times on Thursday, one day after Hamilton was selected for the Hall of Fame Award that recognizes baseball broadcasting excellence.
