Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, broadcasters for the San Francisco Giants, have been nominated for the 2024 Baseball Hall of Fame Ford C. Frick Award. They are joined by Ken Korach, the broadcaster for the Oakland Athletics. Krukow and Kuiper both expressed their admiration for each other, with Krukow stating that Kuiper is better than him. Joe Castiglione, the radio voice for the Boston Red Sox, is also a candidate for the award. Fans are calling for Castiglione to be recognized for his 44 years as a broadcaster, 41 of which were with the Red Sox. The finalists for the award are being praised by many, with some expressing surprise that Castiglione and Hamilton are not already in the Hall of Fame.

Congrats to two of the best. Kruk and Kuip have been nominated for the 2024 Baseball HOF, Ford C. Frick Award. They both deserve to win, IMHO! 🧡🖤@sfgiants https://t.co/dlLOEij7g4
Giants’ Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper join A’s Ken Korach as Frick Award finalists; characteristically, Krukow and Korach both wanted to talk more about Bob Melvin than themselves (and Krukow is rooting for Kuiper; “He’s better than I am.”) https://t.co/HUbx5SMTya via @sfchronicle

Congrats to Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow of the Giants and Ken Korach of the A's for being among the 10 finalists on the ballot for the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually for excellence in broadcasting by baseball's Hall of Fame.
Tremendous group of finalists here for Hall’s broadcast wing. I’m actually somewhat surprised Castiglione and Hamilton aren’t already in. And Kuiper is a treasure in the Bay and nationally. But you can’t convince me Joe Angel shouldn’t at least be in this conversation annually. https://t.co/kpqIebZ1kQ
The late Ernie Johnson Sr., a broadcasting great who did #Braves games for 35 seasons, is a Ford C. Frick Award finalist. Others: Joe Buck, Joe Castiglione, Gary Cohen, Jacques Doucet, Tom Hamilton, Ken Korach, Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper, Dan Shulman. Winner to be announced Dec. 6
Speaking of Vin Scully, so proud of my friend Boog Sciambi joining the select group of broadcasters who have been honored to do the play by play of the World Series on a national radio broadcast. Boog gets the Mike Friday night in Texas! https://t.co/pkSbbXcBp6
The @baseballhall has announced the finalists for the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award, presented for excellence in baseball broadcasting. The 10: Joe Buck, Joe Castiglione, Gary Cohen, Jacques Doucet, Tom Hamilton, Ernie Johnson Sr., Ken Korach, Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper & Dan Shulman
Gary Cohen is a finalist for a second straight year for the Frick Award, which carries induction into the broadcaster’s wing of the Hall of Fame.
The Giants’ Duane Kuiper & Mike Krukow are among nominees for this year’s Frick Award (Hall of Fame). Really, they should be inducted together. Other nominees: Joe Buck, Joe Castiglione, Gary Cohen, Jacques Doucet, Tom Hamilton, Ernie Johnson, Ken Korach, Dan Shulman.
Oh I’m so happy to see all these names on this ballot but especially Korach, Krukow and Kuiper. Still hoping somehow Kruk&Kuip could be a combo induction - they should do it just for the speech alone. https://t.co/bFuToUAATD
44 years as a broadcaster, 41 with the Red Sox. It's time for Joe Castiglione to get the call from Cooperstown. Who's with me? #Frickaward https://t.co/6C2qq4ERrs
