In the Niehaus
Congratulations to Dave Niehaus:
Niehaus has been chosen as the 2008 winner of the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcast excellence. He will be honored during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony July 27 at Cooperstown, N.Y. The announcement Tuesday comes on Niehaus' 73rd birthday.
One of the great things about the MLB Extra Innings package is that the whole country gets to hear top announcers like Niehaus on a daily basis.
That is great. Good for Dave. I love to hear his homerun call especially when it is a grand slam. "Get out the rye bread and mustard gramma, it's grand salami time"
