For 20 years, Chicagoland native and former KMOX-Radio broadcaster Ron Barber has been on a long journey to get the late Cubs’ play-by-play broadcaster Jack Quinlan enshrined in Cooperstown.
Barber contributed the photo, right of Quinlan with Ernie Banks, and the one at the top of this article of Quinlan with Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax.
“The pressure needs to be put on both Cooperstown and the Cub’s Hall of Fame to right this longstanding wrong,” said Berber. “And I’m hoping the video can finally get us to the Promised Land. It’s long overdue. I am trying to get as much national publicity among baseball writers, podcasters, historians, etc. as possible regarding my long journey with Jack Quinlan and his long overdue enshrinement in Cooperstown.”
