IF NIEHAUS CAN'T WIN IT, THIS WILL DO 

Lon Simmons, 2004 Ford C. Frick Award Winner

Lon Simmons was the radio voice for the Giants and A's for 41 years (SF 1958-1973, 1976-1980, 1996-2002; Oakland 1981-1995). I lived in Alameda during the early 1990s and was fortunate to hear the dulcitones of one Lon Simmons. His famous call "tell it goodbye" still sticks with me to this day.

Maybe next year, we can get Dave Niehaus into the Hall of Fame. Can we start the "Put Niehaus Into the HOF 2005" petition anytime soon? It would be well worth it.
