  • Remembering Chicago's Most Ubiquitous Broadcaster
    Joined by two friends, Jack Brickhouse soaks up the atmosphere at the Hall of Fame in 1983, when he was inducted into the broadcasters' wing with the Ford Frick Award. Remembering Chicago’s most ubiquitous broadcaster Have broadcast, will do. That was Jack Brickhouse’s modus operandi in an unparalleled career that took him from modest beginnings at WMBD in Peoria in the depths of the Great Depression as a teenage announcer in 1934 to the Ford Frick Award at the Hall of Fame in 1983. Brickhouse is best known for his baseball work on WGN-TV. But he did so many kinds of broadcasts, sports and otherwise, in his career that what he didn’t do is almost as newsworthy. He literally was the man for all seasons in sports, from World Series to NFL championship games, from Rose Bowls to the NBA playoffs. And away from the field and arenas he handled political conventions, man-on-the-street sessions, kids shows, prime-time network TV dramatic programs and earth-shaking bulletins, such as announcing on WGN Radio that President Franklin Roosevelt had died. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] Brickhouse enjoyed a life of firsts. He was the first voice heard on WGN-TV when it signed on 1948. He was the first Chicago voice heard on a trans-Atlantic satellite broadcast in 1962. He called eight no-hitters, six Gale Sayers touchdowns in one game and the better part of 45 runs scored in a 1979 Cubs-Phillies contest. The Chicago Baseball Museum pays tribute to Brickhouse in this special web site at a time the Cubs are honoring him with a special bobblehead day, as part of their Wrigley Field 100th anniversary celebration.

For the ninth consecutive year, we expanded into the adjacent room to accom- modate the overflow demand to be part of this marquee event, and the honorees, featuring Dr. Condoleezza Rice, the 66th U.S. Secretary of State, continue to represent a long list of our country’s finest leaders who have taken our national stage. What follows is a photo collection of those honored and those who paid tribute to the honorees by attending the event that night, as well as photos from several other National Football Foundation- related events surrounding the 2015 football season. We hope that looking through the magazine will bring back happy memories for those who participated while inspiring others to attend in the future. Mark your calendars for Dec. 6, 2016 and the 59th NFF Annual Awards Dinner, which promises to be bet- ter than ever. Thank you for your support in 2015, and we look forward to further engaging you in our mission of Building Leaders Through Football in 2016.
