For over 40 years, Tim Kurkjian has been writing and talking about the sport he loves, baseball.
On December 7, 2021, Kurkjian received a call to inform him that he had been named the recipient of the 2022 Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) Career Excellence Award. He was dumbstruck.
In the seven plus months since the award was announced, Kurkjian has had time to reflect back on a career that took him from Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda to the University of Maryland to the Dallas Morning News, the Baltimore Sun, Sports Illustrated and ESPN for the last 24 years where he has become one of the best and most trusted baseball analysts on television..
On the eve of receiving the award as part of the Baseball Hall of Fame ceremonies in Cooperstown, NY, Kurkjian shared with MyMCM how nervous he is.
