Tim McCarver winning Ford Frick award is least deserving winner since Homer won the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.
I've been able to get over Tom Cheek being snubbed for the Frick by acknowledging that the award has gone to other well-deserving broadcasters in recent years. But this....good lord.

I didn't think that both awards would go to Canadians this year, so when Bob Elliott won the Spink Award, I figured Cheek wouldn't win this year.
Really? Cause you coulda fooled me. I live in St. Louis and I hate the local Joe Buck as much as the national Joe Buck. Perhaps our difference of opinion centers on the fact that you're probably a Cards fan while I am not.
