HOF’ers as announcers Topic

Maybe I wan't clear in my original post. I know who the Frick winners and the HOF'ers are, what I am not sure of is how many HOF'ers (not counting Frick) were also radio or tv announcers for a specific team, like Ralph Kiner was for the Mets.

If I include Frick winners who were baseball players, (Jerry Coleman, Uecker...) I count twenty baseball players that are in the Hall of Fame who have also had succesful careers in broadcasting. I 'm wondering if there are some people that I'm missing.

My list is as follows:

Richie ashburn (Phillies 1963-1997)
Lou Boudreau (Cubs 58-59, 61-87)
Lou Brock (White Sox 81
Jerry Coleman (1960 Cbs Radio Natewok, 1963-1969 NYY, 70-71 Angels,72- 79 & 81- current San Diego)
Dizzy Dean (41-46 Cards, Browns, 41-48, Yanks 49-51 nationally 52-65)

Don Drysdale (expos 70-71, Ranfers 72, Angels 73="70" & 81, White Sox 82- 87, Dodgers 88-93)

Dennis Eckersley (2002-2009 for Red Sox)
Joe Garagiola (Cards 55-62, Yanks 65-67, Nationally 74-88)
Ralph Kiner (61 White Sox, 62-2009?)
Sandy Koufax (nationally 67-72)
Tony Kubek (1966 hired by NBC and worked for them for 24 years, Blue Jays 77-89, Yankees 90-94)
Joe Morgan (85 Red- 86-94 Giants, 95 A's, 90-current nationally for Espn)
Mel Ott (56-58 Tigers)
Jim Palmer (85-2009 Orioles)
Pee Wee Reese (60-68 nationally)
Jim Rice ( 2002 -2009 Red Sox)
Phil Rizzuto (56-96 Yanks)
Brooks Robinson (78-93 Orioles)
Tom Seaver (89-93 Yankees, 99-05 Mets)
Don Sutton 89-06 Braves, national 07-08, braves 09)
Bob Uecker (71-09 Milwaukee)
Early Wynn (77-80 Blue Jays, 82-95 White Sox)

The first two Frick winners were Mel Allen and Red Barber.

Here's a list from the Hall of Fame site of the living recipients: 2009 Ford C. Frick Award winner Tony Kubek and the other 14 living Frick Award winners: Marty Brennaman, Jerry Coleman, Gene Elston, Joe Garagiola, Ernie Harwell, Jaime Jarrin, Milo Hamilton, Denny Matthews, Dave Niehaus, Felo Ramirez, Vin Scully, Lon Simmons, Bob Uecker and Bob Wolff.

I couldn't find the rest of the deceased ones on the Baseball Hall of Fame site.
