Cleveland radio announcer Tom Hamilton wins HOF's Frick Award

DALLAS -- Tom Hamilton, who has called Cleveland games on the radio for 35 seasons, won the Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting on Wednesday.

Hamilton, 70, joined the team's broadcast in 1990, when he was with Herb Score in the booth and part of the coverage of their World Series appearances in 1995 and 1997. Hamilton became the voice of the franchise when Score retired after that second World Series.

Hamilton will be honored during the Hall of Fame's induction weekend from July 25-28 in Cooperstown, New York.
