Barry Bloom of MLB.com has the details:

Eric Nadel, who has spent the past 35 years as the voice of the Texas Rangers, has been selected as the 2014 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually for excellence in broadcasting by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Nadel was chosen from among 10 iconic voices who vied for the ultimate distinction in their field this year.

“I’m so excited,” Nadel said in a conference call after the announcement at the Winter Meetings on Wednesday morning. “I’m happy, tremendously flattered. It’s an amazing thrill for a kid from Brooklyn, who grew up as a radio junkie. I’m still a radio junkie, I guess. When I think of the fact that six of the former winners I grew up listening to and idolizing, several others I consider to be friends — and some of them are mentors, it’s just mind-boggling to me that I’m now being placed in the same category as them.”

And there’s congratulations from Nadel’s one-time boss, George W. Bush:

“I congratulate my friend Eric Nadel on winning the 2014 Ford C. Frick Award,” said former President George W. Bush, who was once an owner of the Rangers. “For more than 30 years, Eric has brought the Texas Rangers and the great game of baseball to fans all over the Southwest. His passion for the sport is evident in every broadcast. Any announcer can call a game, but Eric brings his listeners into the stadium. He is a wonderful ambassador for our national pastime.”
