Joe Nuxhall is running a distant third in the online fan voting to be a nominee for the Ford C. Frick Award, the Baseball Hall of Fame annual honor for a current/past broadcaster. In the past two years, Nux has been the top online vote-getter by a wide margin. This year hes a distant third (5% today) behind two Canadians, former Toronto Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek (45%) who died in 2005 and former Montreal Expos announcer Jaques Doucet (35%). The top three online nominees will be added to 7 other names, and then a 20-person panel (the living Frick winners, including Marty Brennaman, and some baseball historians) will pick the winner. Obviously the past two years the HOF Frick committee voters ignored the fans top choice (Nux), but Reds fans should make sure Nux makes the list again. In past years, people could vote once a day. Thats what Ive done this year too Voting ends Dec. 31. This year, the HOF is doing it as a Facebook poll, so you have to have a Facebook account and be logged in to vote. Heres a link to the Frick Award info at the HOF, or Facebook members can go straight to the ballot. There are 212 names on the list everyone! including Thom Brennaman, Chris Welsh, George Grande and Waite Hoyt. Dont forget to vote for Nux!
