Frick Award voting on Facebook

Let's get Bill King on the ballot this year!

From the Baseball Hall of Fame:

Online voting for fan selections for the 2011 Frick Award will begin at 10 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, Sept. 1 at the Hall of Fame’s Facebook site www.facebook.com/baseballhall and will conclude at 5 p.m. EDT on Sept. 30. The top three fan selections from votes tallied at the site during September will appear on the final 10-name ballot for the award. The 2011 Frick Award winner will be selected by a 20-member electorate, with the winner to be announced at baseball’s Winter Meetings in Orlando in December.

Presented annually since 1978 for excellence in baseball broadcasting, the Ford C. Frick Award is given to an active or retired broadcaster with a minimum of 10 years of continuous major league broadcast service with a ball club, network, or a combination of the two. Fans will have the opportunity to select from more than 200 broadcasters eligible for consideration for the 2011 Ford C. Frick Award. Bios of each candidate will appear at www.baseballhall.org.

The final 2011 Frick Award ballot will feature 10 names, comprised of the top three fan selections along with seven other candidates to be determined by a Hall of Fame research team. The Frick electorate includes all living Award-winners and five historians/veteran media members appointed by the Hall of Fame.
