Hall of Fame weekend kicks off with media honors
Before honoring four giants as they're officially inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday, the baseball world recognized the achievements of two members of the media on Saturday in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Joe Castiglione, who has called Red Sox games on the radio for 41 seasons, received the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters, and the late Gerry Fraley was honored with the BBWAA Career Excellence Award for writers. Fraley covered the Phillies, Braves and Rangers over a renowned career before he passed away in 2019 at age 64.
