Longtime Cubs broadcaster Pat Hughes has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fmae as the recipient of the 2023 Ford C. Frick Award.
“On behalf of my family and the entire Cubs organization, I want to congratulate Pat on this remarkable accomplishment,” Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said in a statement. “The Ford C. Frick Award is a highly prestigious award that recognizes the ‘best of the best’ in broadcasting and no one is more deserving of this award than Pat.
"Outside of his impressive resume, Pat is a truly wonderful person who cares deeply about Cubs fans and the game of baseball. We’re so incredibly lucky to have had him as a member of the Cubs family for the past 27 seasons and look forward to celebrating this accomplishment, and many more, in the years to come.” Hughes was named the Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year from 1990-92 and has earned the Illinois honor nine times.
He was behind the mic in 2016 when the Cubs captured their first pennant since 1945 and first World Series title since 1908.
