Broadcasters

Selected to Cooperstown as the 2025 Ford C. Frick Award recipient, Tom Hamilton - the “Voice of the Guardians” - enters his 37th season of calling Cleveland Guardians baseball games on the radio. Since 1990, Hamilton has called all 114 Postseason games the Cleveland franchise has played over that span, including three World Series' (1995, 1997, 2016). His 36-year tenure, alongside Rick Manning, marks the longest in club history, just surpassing his former partner, Herb Score (34 years, 1964-97).

A three-time Ford C. Frick Award nominee, Hamilton is joined in the booth by Jim Rosenhaus, providing action and commentary throughout the 162-game regular season and select spring training contests on Newsradio WTAM 1100, 100.7FM WMMS and the Guardians Radio Network.
