COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Writer Tim Kurkjian and the late Jack Graney, the primary previous significant association player to move to the transmission stall, were respected Saturday by the Baseball Hall of Fame for their commitments to the game.

Kurkjian was given the Baseball Writers' Association of America's Career Excellence Award. He started his vocation in 1979 at the Washington Star and after two years was the Texas Rangers beat author for The Dallas Morning News. After four years, he got back to his local Maryland and joined The Baltimore Sun, covering the Orioles for a considerable length of time. He then burned through seven years as a senior baseball essayist at Sports Illustrated.

"It's such a distinction to be here," said Kurkjian, who moved to broadcasting at ESPN in 1998. "This has been the most overpowering, most overwhelming experience of my life. That adoration for the game, not in that frame of mind of effortlessness or ability, has conveyed my profession. It was an honor to cover the game quite a while back, and presently 40 years after the fact, it is as yet an honor. Baseball is the best game."

Graney was respected after death with the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting, yet he began his vocation on the field for Cleveland and was the primary significant association player to bat against Babe Ruth (1914). He completed a 14-year playing profession in 1922 and after a spell in auto deals was employed in 1932 by Cleveland radio staion WHK to call games. He endured 22 years calling them for a few stations and is currently generally viewed as the main previous major association player to communicate a significant association game.
