Special to Detroit Free Press
Longtime Free Press sportswriter John Lowe — who covered the Detroit Tigers for 29 seasons before retiring in 2014 — received the 2023 BBWAA Career Excellence Award in a Saturday afternoon ceremony on the outskirts of Cooperstown, New York.
He will receive additional recognition for his award — which includes a plaque and picture in the writers and announcers wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame — during Sunday’s induction ceremony for first baseman Fred McGriff and third baseman Scott Rolen.
