NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Graham McNamee has won the Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting.
Baseball's Hall of Fame made the announcement Wednesday at the winter meetings.
McNamee is the 40th winner of the Frick Award. He will be honored during the Hall of Fame awards presentation on July 23 in Cooperstown, New York.
An aspiring opera singer turned broadcaster almost by accident, McNamee called every World Series from 1923-34 and also worked the first four MLB All-Star games from 1933-1936.
"Graham McNamee defined what it was to broadcast baseball games to a nationwide audience," Hall president Jeff Idelson said.
