Paul Sullivan writes: 'As (Pat Hughes) accepted the Ford C. Frick Award on Saturday from the Baseball Hall of Fame for excellence in broadcasting, Cubs fans across the nation nodded in unison at an honor long overdue.' PWSullivan
Sitting in the Chicago Cubs radio booth last week with Pat Hughes as he munched on popcorn during his one-inning break, our conversation turned to the baseball grind.
Cubs radio broadcaster Pat Hughes works a game against the Brewers on Sept. 15, 2016, at Wrigley Field. In his acceptance speech Saturday at the ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y., Hughes described his first experience as a play-by-play man, sitting on the bench of his college basketball team pretending to call the action.
Santo asked afterward how it looked. “I lied,” Hughes said, telling Santo: “I didn’t think it looked that bad to me.” He then compared Santo’s singed hairpiece to a divot in the grass by golfer Phil Mickelson. “What an extraordinary group of people you are,” Hughes said, adding Cubs fans “make me feel like I’m part of your family.”
