NEW YORK — Bob Costas has won the fifth Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Baseball Digest.
The longtime broadcaster was honored Thursday with an annual distinction that “recognizes a living individual whose career has been spent in or around Major League Baseball and who has made significant contributions to the game.”
Willie Mays won the inaugural award in 2021, followed by Vin Scully (2022), Joe Torre (2023) and Dusty Baker (2024).
“Baseball hasn’t just been a big part of my career. It’s been a big and ongoing part of my life,” Costas said in a news release.
