National Baseball Hall of Fame broadcaster Jaime Jarrín, Spanish voice of the Dodgers for 64 seasons, was inducted into the Museum of Broadcast Communications’ Radio Hall of Fame on Thursday in Nashville.
Already back in LA and at Dodger Stadium on Friday, the member of the Dodgers’ Ring of Honor called it one of the most special honors of his career.
“After Cooperstown, that’s the highest honor there is,” he said. “After more than 60 years on the radio, I feel super, super pleased and humbled. The blessings keep coming. Really, it’s unbelievable.”
Jarrín is one of eight members of the Class of 2024. That group includes:
· Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase (inducted as a duo)
· Lee Harris
· Phil Hendrie
· Kraig Kitchin
· Barry Mayo
· Mary McCoy
· Matt Siegel
Vin Scully is also a member of the Radio Hall of Fame. He was inducted in 1995.
Jarrín retired from broadcasting in 2022. He began calling Dodger games in 1959. His honors include the Ford C. Frick Award from the Hall of Fame in 1998 and induction into the Dodgers’ Ring of Honor in 2018.
