Cheek is up for the award again and won the fans vote this year. Hopefully he gets in this year.

It'd be about time. The man was a legend.

As an aside, it's because of him and Jerry Howarth, I couldn't watch cartoons as a child without thinking of the Blue Jays.

I remember more hype in previous years... which likely means this year is the year.

Not surprised to see Wilner seeking credit...
Is anybody here a marine biologist?

I know he's been a finalist every year, but I didn't realize there were 10 finalists. Makes it hard. But a resume of all those consecutive games. How do these other guys like Tim McCarver get in first?

Only Jay announcer on the list is Tony Kubek. I remember him. But he became bigger when he went on to US tv.
