Baseball Hall Of Fame Announces Finalists For 2025 Ford C. Frick Award

The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced the 10 finalists for the 2025 Ford C. Frick Award, which is presented annually for excellence in baseball broadcasting.

The group of nominees consists of Skip Caray (Atlanta Braves), Rene Cardenas, Gary Cohen (New York Mets), Jacques Doucet (Montreal Expos), Tom Hamilton (Cleveland Guardians), Ernie Johnson Sr. (Atlanta Braves), Mike Krukow (San Francisco Giants), Duane Kuiper (San Francisco Giants), Dave Sims (Seattle Mariners) and John Sterling (New York Yankees).

All of the 2025 Frick Award candidates are living except for Caray and Johnson.

The ballot marks the third of four consecutive elections featuring a composite collection of local and national voices whose broadcast careers have extended into, or began following, the advent of the Wild Card in 1994.

These will be followed by a fifth year featuring a ballot of candidates whose broadcasting careers concluded prior to the Wild Card Era. The cycle then repeats.

The criteria for selection calls for a “commitment to excellence, quality of broadcasting abilities, reverence within the game, popularity with fans, and recognition by peers.”

To be considered for the Frick Award, an active or retired broadcaster must have a minimum of 10 years of continuous Major League broadcast service with a ballclub, network, or combination of the two.

The 2025 Frick Award ballot was created by a subcommittee of the voting electorate that included past Frick honorees Marty Brennaman, Joe Castiglione and Eric Nadel, and broadcast historians David J. Halberstam and Curt Smith.

Final voting for the 2025 Frick Award will be conducted by an electorate comprised of the 13 living Frick Award recipients and three broadcast historians/columnists.

The group includes past Frick Award honorees Brennaman, Castiglione, Bob Costas, Ken Harrelson, Pat Hughes, Jaime Jarrín, Tony Kubek, Denny Matthews, Al Michaels, Jon Miller, Nadel, Bob Uecker and Dave Van Horne, and historians/columnists Halberstam (historian), Barry Horn (formerly of the Dallas Morning News) and Smith (historian).

Jarrín, the former Los Angeles Dodgers Spanish language broadcaster, was named the recipient of the award in 1998, while Dodgers Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully won it in 1982.

The annual award is named in memory of Hall of Famer Ford C. Frick, a renowned sportswriter, radio broadcaster, National League president and baseball commissioner.

When will 2025 Ford C. Frick Award winner be announced?

The winner of the 2025 Frick Award will be announced on Dec. 11 at the MLB Winter Meetings in Dallas, Texas. The winner will then get honored during the July 26 awards presentation as part of the July 25-28 Hall of Fame Weekend in Cooperstown.
