As the first voice that called a Chicago Cubs’ first World Series title, longtime radio broadcaster Pat Hughes has left his mark in baseball lore.
Following the historic call, Hughes recently received the Ring Lardner Award for Broadcast Journalism. In mid-April, the voice of the Cubs will receive the honor. Of course, Hughes never seems acclaim given his humble nature, but this honor is well-due.
Every person strives to make an impact on the world they live in. Teachers hope to mold the leaders of tomorrow, while athletes work to achieve feats that have never been done.
