Costas makes the case for former Cub announcer Jack Quinlan to be in the Hall of Fame
When Pat Hughes was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as the 47th recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, he joined an elite group of Cubs announcers in Cooperstown.
The reason the name might not sound familiar is that his brilliant career was cut short when he was killed in an auto crash at the age of 38 during spring training in Arizona in 1965. by signing up you agree to our terms of service "It's absolutely ludicrous. The Hall of Fame needs to step up to the plate. If indeed they do call themselves the Hall of Fame, they need to realize that perhaps the greatest baseball broadcaster in history, for whatever reasons, has been left out," said Missouri resident Ron Barber, who has lovingly curated Quinlan's voice on his Facebook page, which has more than 1,000 followers, many of whom listened as kids.
Quinlan's voice is immediately engaging, inviting us to"light up a White Owl and live," before launching into the play-by-play. He creates an audio tapestry, weaving into his narrative a brief recap of the game's highlights, an appreciation of Koufax's performance, the announcement of player substitutions and a precise report of the action right down to the location of pitches and the attempts by fans to reach for foul balls.
Costas said the baseball broadcaster is a companion as much as a reporter, and from"the tapes that I've heard," including not only his work with the Cubs, but on national broadcasts, reveal a presence that"drew you in. He dotted all the Is and crossed all the Ts, in terms of what's the count, where are the fielders, what's the weather like, what's the game situation. His calls of plays were exciting and accurate, but the overall is what struck me.
