This is an embarrassment to Ernie Harwell:

http://espn.go.com/mlb/hof11/story/...d-c-frick-award

He's horrible. He's a homer and he's WRONG is half the crap he says, not to mention pearls of wisdom such as, "you have a better chance of scoring two runs or more in an inning following a leadoff homer than a leadoff walk."

Are the people who decide these things paying any attention or do they have to just give it to somebody and they're running out of somebodies??

Some thoughts:

It sounds like they are running out of names. How many broadcasters in the post-Ernie generation were jocks, and barely competent in the booth? (Another 60s era catcher comes to mind.)
