Frick Award Online Balloting Begins Tomorrow and Continues Through Sept. 30 OAKLAND, Calif. – No baseball broadcaster was more decisive—or distinctive—in the big moment than the Oakland A’s late, great Bill King. Now, it’s time for his legions of ardent supporters to be just as decisive in voting him into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Starting tomorrow, fans of the legendary A’s announcer can cast their online ballot for a man who is generally regarded as the greatest broadcaster in Bay Area history when the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s Facebook site is activated for 2012 Ford C. Frick Award voting during the month of September. King, who passed away at the age of 78 in 2005, was the leading national vote-getter in fan balloting for the Frick Award in both 2005 and 2006. Following his death, the A’s permanently named their Coliseum broadcast facilities the “Bill King Broadcast Booth” after the team’s revered former voice. Online voting for fan selections for the award will begin at 7 a.m. PDT tomorrow, Sept. 1, at the Hall of Fame’s Facebook site, www.facebook.com/baseballhall, and conclude at 2 p.m. PDT Sept. 30. The top three fan selections from votes tallied at the site during September will appear on the final 10-name ballot for the award.

  • Goats, Ghosts, and Records!
    Goats, Ghosts, and Records! The news has been filled with references of goats, ghosts, and records for the last two weeks or so. Those news articles did not have to do with any agricultural report or coverage of events around Halloween, but with the two teams involved in the World Series. Most of those accounts were given in reference to the history of the Chicago Cubs. How many times since the post-season began have we heard the number, “108” or the year, 1945 and 1948? At the end of game 4 of this year’s World Series, the echo of the goat’s hooves could seemingly be heard on the pavement of Addison Street in Chicago as the Cubs fell back to the verge of elimination! The ghosts of Wrigley seemed to be circling around the north side of the city again! However, this year, history is not repeating itself of the same old story of a disappointing end of the season, but is beginning to take on a different tone as the Cubs have finally become major league baseball’s champions! That which some thought was impossible, whether for this year or for any year, has now become the sensational news of reality! The emotional impact upon Cub fans has also been huge! The excitement throughout Wrigleyville could be heard all the way to Lake Michigan . and around the world as Cub fans watched the television broadcast or listened to Pat Hughes on the radio! Young fans that are the same age as those “20-something” stars of the game just immersed themselves in the excitement of the home-team winning the major league championship.

    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.
