Los Angeles Dodgers Spanish-language broadcaster Jaime Jarrín was the recipient of the Latino Spirit Award from the California Latino Caucus.
The honor recognizes Jarrín’s work in radio broadcasting and philanthropy. What stands out about the award is that it features a bear made in the Huichol Chaquira art style.
Jarrín, the longest-tenured active radio baseball broadcaster, is now in his 63rd season calling games for the Dodgers. The 85-year-old revealed this past offseason that the club gave him a “lifetime contract,” allowing him to remain in the booth for as long as he pleases.
Over the course of his illustrious career, Jarrín has called three perfect games, nearly two-dozen no-hitters, 26 All-Star Games and 29 World Series.
