For the second straight year, Duane Kuiper has been recognized as one of the top broadcasters in Major League Baseball. The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced its ballot for next year's Ford C. Frick Award, which is given to one baseball broadcaster each year at the hall's enshrinement weekend. Kuiper, who began calling Giants games in 1986 after retiring from his playing career, has been nominated five times now but has not yet won the award.
"It's like I've been a kid away at college and I'm coming home. I could not love this city more. I come back all the time to visit friends. I plead for Red Sox games every time we have them. It just makes me so happy to walk into Fenway and see familiar faces - the security guys, the clubbies are for the most part still there from my time - and hear 'Sweet Caroline' in the eighth inning. It brings back a flood of memories."
