Cubs radio voice Pat Hughes is about to join two exclusive clubs. On Saturday, he’ll become the 47th recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, earning him induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. And within that club is a small group of Chicago broadcasters who have won the award:

Jack Brickhouse (1983), Harry Caray, (1989) and Ken “Hawk” Harrelson (2020).

As great as they were, Hughes is better than all of them.

Chicago sports fans are deeply attached to their broadcasters, so opinions might vary.
