Show us your Mike-Men!
I'm one of those old souls who would rather hear a game on radio than watch it on television. Since 1978, the Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award has honored radio/tv broadcasters. It's time to pay some attention to the voices of summer here on the board...so let's see what you have in your collection!
I'll kick it off with this 1932 postcard of longtime Chicago announcer BOB ELSON, including a handwritten plea for votes in a Sporting News ranking of baseball broadcasters. Elson won the Frick Award in 1979 for his 41 years behind the microphone. He conducted the first on-field interview in 1931 (with CONNIE MACK) and did play-by-play for nine All-Star Games and 12 World Series.
