November 7, 20169 yr @scottmerkin Ken 'Hawk' Harrelson named as one of the eight finalists for the 2017 Ford C. Frick Award. @scottmerkin Frick away is presented annually for excellence in baseball broadcasting by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. @scottmerkin Eight finalists are: Gary Cohen, Jacques Doucet, Ken Harrelson, Pat Hughes, Bill King, Mike Krukow, Ned Martin and Dewayne Staats. Even if you despise the Hawk, and I'm sure the other nominees are worthy too - Hawk deserves to get his name into the HOF as a broadcaster. That many years around this game, instantly recognizeable style. If you can't stand him - getting him into the HOF might be a thing that would make him retire!

November 7, 20169 yr My bad, could have sworn he was, but looking back at finalists from several years, no indeed.
