Outfielder Jos Cardenal, the Cubs fan favorite from the 1970s, joined broadcaster Pat Hughes and Hall of Fame pioneer Buck O’Neil (posthumously) were honored Saturday.
Vedder’s scheduling conflict certainly didn’t seem to dampen the mood for Cardenal, who learned of the selection to this year’s Cubs Hall class via a Zoom session that included Vedder and a Cubs official.
“When they told me they were going to induct me into the Cubs Hall of Fame I was stunned,” Cardenal said. “I couldn’t talk, I said nothing. I said, ‘Thank you.’ That’s it.” Cardenal and Hughes joined a third member of the class, pioneering Negro Leagues player and manager Buck O’Neil, who was a scout and coach for the Cubs in the earliest days of MLB integration — and who was honored posthumously this summer with a long-overdue induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Hughes, who’s in his 22nd year in the Cubs booth is the third Cubs broadcaster in the team’s Hall of Fame, alongside Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray. “To be bracketed with Harry Caray and Jack Brickhouse in the long and legendary history of the Cubs, I must have been doing something right,” Hughes said. “It’s very special.The inductees were fitted for custom blue jackets to signify the honor. Under Hughes' collar was inscribed his familiar home run call:"That ball's got a chaaaance ... GONE!"
