L.A. CONFIDENTIAL.


Byline: -- Tom Hoffarth

Online voting is still part of the process the Baseball Hall of Fame is using to determine the next recipient of the Ford Frick Ford Christopher Frick (December 19, 1894 – April 8, 1978) was an American sportswriter and executive who served as president of the National League from 1934 to 1951 and as the 3rd Baseball Commissioner from 1951 to 1965.  Award, which inducts a broadcaster annually along with players and contributors.

The ballot presented to fans at mlb.com is hardly discriminatory, however, meaning the 194 candidates include names such as Steve Lyons Steve Lyons is the name of:
  • Steve Lyons (writer), British writer
  • Steve Lyons (baseball) (born 1960), baseball player and former Fox baseball announcer
, Al Downing Al Downing may refer to:
  • Al Downing (baseball) (born 1941), pitcher
  • Al Downing (musician) (1940–2005)
, Jerry Doggett Jerry Doggett (September 14, 1916[1] – July 7, 1997[2]) broadcast Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games from 1956 to 1987. Early days
Doggett was born in Moberly, Missouri, USA and began his announcing career in Texas.
 and Rick Monday (plus Ross Porter, but no Rex Hudler?).

Through November, fans can pick up to three names they hope will be among the three that are on the final 10-person ballot that is then given to 20 certified Hall voters next month.

We submitted Ken Brett, Dick Enberg and Dave Niehaus. Niehaus, who once did Angels games and is the longtime voice of the Seattle Mariners, was one of three who made it on the ballot last year from fan votes.
