Whiteside honored with Spink Award (and other BBWAA news)
2007-12-05 07:11
by Bob Timmermann

Larry Whiteside, a former Red Sox beat reporter for the Boston Globe who passed away June 15, was honored with the J.G. Spink Award by the Baseball Writers Association of America, presented annually at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.

Nick Peters of the Sacramento Bee and Dave Van Dyck of the Chicago Tribune also received consideration.

And from the comments there is word that the BBWAA is trying to take action about the potential for BBWAA votes to trigger incentive clauses in contracts.
