Frick Award voting continues without Rizzs

Posted at 11:10 am by By Kirby Arnold

Any chance of a one-two punch by the Mariners' broadcasters in the Ford C. Frick Award voting disappeared today when the 10 finalists for the 2009 ballot were announced and Rick Rizzs wasn't on it.

Rizzs, the Mariners' longtime partner with Dave Niehaus, was on the ballot in early online fan voting. Niehaus won the 2008 Frick Award and was honored at the Hall of Fame in July.

The 2009 finalists chosen in the fan vote are Joe Nuxhall of the Reds, Jacques Doucet of the Expos on their French Network; and Tom Cheek of the Expos and Blule Jays. The other seven on the final ballot, chosen by a Hall of Fame research committee, are Billy Berroa of the Mets on their Spanish broadcasts; Ken Coleman of the Indians, Reds and Red Sox; Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals and the national Game of the Week; Lanny Frattare of the Pirates, Tony Kubek of the Blue Jays, Yankees and the national Game of the Week; Graham McNamee of Westinghouse and NBC; and Dave Van Horne of the Expos and Marlins.

The 2009 Frick Award winner will be announced Dec. 9 at the baseball winter meetings. A 20-member committee, including Niehaus, will vote on the award.
