Cubs radio play-by-play man Pat Hughes was named the 2009 Illinois Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. This is Hughes' eighth Sportscaster of the Year honor and his fifth in Illinois. He was honored as Wisconsin's Sportscaster of the Year in 1990, 1991 and 1992. "I would like to thank the Cubs fans for being the greatest audience that a broadcaster could ever dream of," Hughes said. "I would also like to thank all of those who voted for me."
Hughes is entering his 15th season with the Cubs, teaming with Ron Santo on the Cubs Radio Network. The 2010 season will be Hughes' 28th of broadcasting Major League Baseball. Hughes also produces an audio series called "Baseball Voices," which focuses on the careers of some of the game's top announcers. Among the voices are Harry Caray, Red Barber, Jack Buck, Bob Uecker, Harry Kalas and Dave Niehaus.
