Information About

Ford C. Frick Award




In tribute to Frick, the award for career excellence in baseball broadcasting was created in 1978 . Winners give a speech at the Hall of Fame during induction weekend, and their names are added to a plaque in the library of the Hall of Fame; they are not, however, considered to be members of the Hall of Fame. Winners of the Frick Award, if still living, also become life members of the Veterans Committee , which considers candidates for Hall of Fame induction who are no longer eligible for the regular voting by the Baseball Writers Association Of America .

In 2004 , fans were allowed to nominate candidates for the award for the first time.
