Guardians News and Notes: The Rule 5 Draft and Tom Hamilton Awarded

There is one constant that I look forward to when it comes to opening day season after season. Tom Hamilton’s signature “FRooooom [insert stadium here]” that kicks off each of his broadcasts. There are few other sounds that signify to me “Cleveland Baseball.” After 34 years as the radio broadcaster for the Cleveland organization, Tom Hamilton’s skills and hard work was finally awarded. Hammy has been a Ford C. Frick award finalist three times in years past. Now, he has officially been recognized and awarded the 2025 Ford C. Frick award. The voice of baseball in Cleveland, will be in Cooperstown where he belongs.
