NEW YORK (AP) — Longtime NFL announcer Pat Summerall will receive the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in Sports Broadcasting.
The former NFL kicker and tight end with the New York Giants and Chicago Cardinals will receive the award May 2 in New York.
After his playing days, Summerall’s broadcasting career spanned six decades, mostly as a partner with John Madden in NFL games.
Summerall is a member of the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame.
The award is named for the longtime Dodgers broadcaster, who won the Frick Award in 1982. Scully helped form Fordham’s radio station WFUV, which is the award’s sponsor, and joined the Dodgers broadcast crew in 1950.
