COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) – The Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters was presented on Saturday to Dick Enberg and Tom Gage received the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for writers in a ceremony at Doubleday Field.

Enberg, a national voice for multiple sports on both NBC and CBS, has spent nearly 20 years calling big league games. He started his speech with his signature call, “Oh, my!”

Gage was the beat writer for the Detroit News, covering the Tigers from 1979 to 2014.

The awards presentation also featured a tribute to the legacy and contributions of former Reds, Cardinals and Senators outfielder Curt Flood. His test of the reserve clause before the U.S. Supreme Court in the early 1970s laid the groundwork for the advent of free agency several years later.
