Bob Costas Headed to Cooperstown; Named 2018 Ford C. Frick Award Winner

Congratulations to Bob Costas for being voted the 2018 Ford C. Frick Award winner for baseball broadcasting. He will be honored during Hall of Fame weekend in Cooperstown in July.

Although Costas has covered every sport under the sun, including the Olympics, he is first and foremost a baseball guy. Outside of Vin Scully and Ernie Harwell, Costas is my favorite baseball broadcaster. I go back with him all the way to NBC Game of The Week which he co-hosted with Sal Bando and later Tony Kubek. Costas has always had the ability to give the game a sense of drama and suspense.

With Costas joining Jack Morris and Alan Trammell in the Hall, I am sorely tempted to make my way back to Cooperstown.
