Scoreboard Scoreboard Jon Miller wins Frick Award COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Jon Miller, who has spent parts of five decades as the voice of five major league baseball teams, was selected Monday as the 2010 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award. A native of San Francisco, Miller has called games for the Giants, Balti- more, Boston, Texas and Oakland, and has been the voice of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball telecasts for 20 years. He was on vacation in South America when he received the call from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. ''I told my wife I'll never forget Cartagena, Colombia,'' said Miller, who joins former Giants broadcasters Lon Simmons and Russ Hodges as winners of the award. ''The first thing I thought of was Lon Simmons and Russ Hodges, who taught me the game as a kid growing up. It really is kind of astounding to me because Russ and Lon were larger-than-life people to me. My idols.'' Miller, who will be honored during Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in July, began his broadcasting career in the Bay Area in 1974, landing a job as the play-by-play man for the Oakland A's. After holding various broadcasting jobs in the Bay Area, also calling hock- ey, soccer and basketball, Miller joined the radio crew of the Texas Rangers in 1978, moved to Boston in 1980 to take the Red Sox's radio job, then went to Baltimore in 1983 to handle the Ori- oles' radio duties. While in Baltimore, Miller called the last out of the 1983 World Series as the Orioles captured their third title and worked on NBC's Game of the Week with Frick Award winners Joe Garagi- ola and Tony Kubek from 1986-89. In 1990, Miller took over ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball and seven years later returned home to become the voice of the Giants, a position he still holds today. Miller, who called Barry Bonds' 756th career home run in August 2007, has broadcast 13 World Series. Giants add Kim, Ramirez on minor league deals SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants have agreed to terms on minor league contracts with right-hander Byung-Hyun Kim and lefty Hora- cio Ramirez, and both received non-roster invites to spring train- ing. The 31-year-old Kim hasn't pitched in the majors since spend- ing 2007 with Colorado, Arizona and Florida. He owns a career record of 54-60 with a 4.42 ERA in nine big league seasons. While with Arizona, Kim gave up the tying home runs in Games 4 and 5 of 2001 World Series against the New York Yankees and the winning drive in Game 4 to Derek Jeter. The Diamond- backs won in seven games. Soggy start to Super Bowl week FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Rain drove the New Orleans Saints indoors Monday. The NFL scrambled to move Tues- day's media day activities under cover. And tourism officials tried to shrug off the public-relations blow of a soggy start to Super Bowl week. ''Sometimes you need a break from the sun,'' said Nicki Gross- man of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. ''Everybody all over the country has weather. And you don't have to shovel anything that has fallen on us.'' Even so, the less-than-Super weather — daylong rain blanketing the region — stirred unpleasant memories of the last time the NFL title game came to town three years ago. That was the first time rain fell on a Super Bowl, and it continued throughout the game, chasing some fans away at halftime and sending others into concourses to watch on television as the Indi- anapolis Colts beat the Chicago Bears. ''The same weather,'' Indi- anapolis quarterback Peyton Man- ning said. ''I don't know what that is — the Colts bringing rain to Miami.'' Although this is the middle of South Florida's dry season, steady light rain also fell during Sunday night's Pro Bowl in Miami. The Colts and Saints landed Monday and were greeted by their Pro Bowl teammates — seven from Indianapolis and seven from New Orleans — who watched the all-star game from the sideline. One Pro Bowler was Manning, who said he didn't mind making the trip the day before most of the Colts arrived. ''I got to fly on a private plane with six of my best friends and teammates,'' Manning said. ''We had Ruth's Chris Steak House food on the plane, took a private escape down to Miami, shook a few hands, did a wave, did one inter- view and made $45,000. I can think of some worse things to put yourself through.'' The forecast called for a 30 per- cent chance of showers Tuesday, prompting the media day switch. And, there is at least a slight chance of rain every day the rest of the week, with a 20-percent chance Sunday. ''We'll get prepared for it just in case we have to deal with some of the same issues we had to deal with last time,'' Colts coach Jim Cald- well said. ''It looks like it may rain during the course of the week, so maybe we'll have an opportunity to practice in it. But our game plan won't change.'' Media day will, however. Instead of conducting interviews on the field at Sun Life Stadium, the NFL will hold them in an indoor concourse on the club level. All players and coaches from the Saints and Colts will still be available for interviews. ''This should not be a major problem,'' NFL spokesman Michael Signora said. ''It just will look different.'' The Saints' first practice Mon- day was moved 30 miles north from the University of Miami's outdoor fields to the indoor bubble at the Miami Dolphins' complex. The starting time was pushed back while equipment was moved from one site to the other. ''It is what it is,'' said quarter- back Drew Brees, whose Saints have hurricanes in their history. ''Weather the storm — we know how to do that.'' Rain also affected preparation of the playing field, Signora said. ''I wouldn't say anything is delayed,'' he said. ''I'd say work continues, and weather is one more factor built into the preparation.'' The weather made South Flori- da's daunting traffic even more sluggish. The team hotels and prac- tice sites are separated by drives of up to an hour — sometimes more — and while the Colts and Saints are whisked about with police escorts, getting around is more arduous for fans, volunteers, league officials and the media. ''We're a regional effort, and we need to spread it around,'' said Rodney Barreto, chairman of the South Florida Super Bowl host committee. ''It'll be judged after- ward whether it really works out.'' Tourism officials said the wet weather didn't tarnish the Pro Bowl, which was moved from Hawaii as a one-year experiment and drew the largest crowd for the game since 1959. But the stadium was half empty by the third quarter. The Super Bowl is in Miami for the 10th time, the most of any city. While the rain may not dampen visitors' enthusiasm for South Florida, the NFL says the Dol- phins' 22-year-old stadium needs upgrades, raising concerns about the region's attractiveness as a site of future games. The Dolphins have proposed adding a roof that would cover fans as part of stadium improvements that could cost $250 million or more. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the upgrades would help South Florida remain compet- itive in bidding for future Super Bowls. ''They're saying, 'Your whiskers are getting a little long,''' Barreto said. ''I don't think we ought to fall asleep and sit on our laurels. We should take a good look and see if there is some way to part- ner with the Dolphins and figure out how to get something done.'' South Florida leaders are expected to seek public money for the project. But at the moment, Barreto said, they're focused on praying for some sunshine. except catcher and first base.'' The A's signed Gross to a deal that includes several incentives besides his base salary. He would get $50,000 each for making 400, 450, 500 and 550 plate appearances. Gross batted .227 with six homers and 36 RBIs in 115 games with Tampa Bay last season. He also has played for Toronto and Milwaukee. Tolleson played at Dou- ble-A and Triple-A last sea- son, batting combined for a .266 with 27 doubles, eight home runs, 40 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 130 games. (Continued from page 1B) A's Kings fall in OT DENVER (AP) — Arron Afflalo hit a 21-foot baseline jumper with 18.4 seconds left in overtime, and the Denver Nuggets, down by 17 points in the third quarter, rallied to beat the Sacramento Kings 112-109 Monday night. Kenyon Martin had 24 points and 12 rebounds and Chauncey Billups had 23 points for the Nuggets, who improved to 3-0 in overtime this season and averted being swept in their three-game season series with the Kings. The Nuggets, playing a fifth straight game without All- Star forward Carmelo Anthony (ankle) also got 15 points from Ty Lawson, 14 points from Nene and Afflalo had six of his 12 points in the extra period. Spencer Hawes had 23 points and Kevin Martin had 22 for the Kings, which lost for the third time in four OT games.
