NOVEMBER 30, 2023 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. --- More than 650 sportscasters and sportswriters are finalists for the 2022 NSMA Awards or the 2023 Hall of Fame class, executive director Dave Goren announced. They include Sportscaster or Sportswriter of the Year finalists from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, National Sportscaster or Sportswriter of the Year finalists, and the Hall nominees.
Among former winners of the national awards are sportscasters Al Michaels (1980, 1983, 1986), Jim Nantz (1998, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), Joe Buck (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006), Kevin Harlan (2017, 2019), and Mike Tirico (2010), and sportswriters Adrian Wojnarowski (2017, 2018, 2019), Nicole Auerbach (2020), and Tom Verducci (2014, 2015, 2016). Michaels, Nantz, and Verducci are also members of NSMA's Hall of Fame.
This year's Hall of Fame finalists feature men and women who have covered a variety of sports, from tennis (Mary Carillo) to hockey (the late Dan Kelly) to auto racing (the late Chris Ecomomaki), as well as baseball, basketball, and football. The Hall of Fame sportswriter ballot is equally diverse, featuring newspaper columnists such as Bill Plaschke (Los Angeles Times), baseball writers such as Claire Smith (Hartford Courant, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, ESPN.com), and authors such as the late Roger Angell and the late Roger Kahn.
Final voting begins December 1 and ends December 31. Winners will be notified during the first week of January and announced on January 9. The 63rd NSMA Awards Weekend & National Convention will be held June 24-26, 2023, in Winston-Salem, NC. Tickets are on sale now here, and feature a 10% discount if purchased by December 31, 2022.
