NBC Sports Emmy Award-winning hockey play-by-play broadcaster and longtime Voice of the New Jersey Devils Mike “Doc” Emrick has been selected to be the eighth recipient of the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in Sports Broadcasting from WFUV Radio (90.7 FM/wfuv.org).
The award recognizes the iconic “Voice of the Dodgers” for over 60 years and renowned Fordham University alumnus (1949). WFUV was the launching pad to his Hall of Fame broadcast career. WFUV is the noncommercial, member-supported public media service of Fordham University for more than 65 years.
“When I received the call from Vin Scully that I’d been selected to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award that bears his name, I was speechless, and that’s rare for me,” said Emrick.
