    Joe Garagiola couldn't make the festivities in person. He wasn't about to miss being part of a special moment.

    The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum held its annual awards presentation Saturday on the outfield grass of nearby Doubleday Field, honoring the 88-year-old Garagiola with the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award.

    Author Roger Angell was presented the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for meritorious contributions to baseball writing and Texas Rangers announcer Eric Nadel got the Ford C. Frick Award for major contributions to baseball broadcasting.

    Unable to attend because of health issues, Garagiola sent a taped message.
