Longtime sports broadcaster Dan Hicks has died at the age of 64.

Beyond his remarkable career, Dan was the husband of our beloved SportsCenter colleague Hannah Storm and a father of three.

Our hearts are with Hannah, their daughters and the entire Hicks family. https://t.co/mdpriJO6TA

@JoeyMannarino What a maroon

[NBC Sports @NBCSports]

Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.

From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.

But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.

@BarstoolBigCat How’d that go

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

@GothamCityM It’s also possible that Woody is vetoing every move.

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

Ask Stearns or the Reds GM if they’d trade Stewart for Benge straight up. The Reds GM would say yes. Stearns would hang up the phone (Mets need for a 1B notwithstanding) #mets #LGM

If I’m fortunate enough to go to the BBWAA dinner again I will seek out the two writers who voted Benge 5th. #Mets

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

Bill Plunket and Charlie Goldsmith should have their voting privileges revoked. 5th?!? Did you watch any NL East games boys? #LGM

The full 2026 NL Rookie of the Year voting results

[VOGELBUCK @metsarebest2]

was sal stewart better than carson benge at:
defense? no
hitting? no
base running? no

ok but did he have:
a higher WAR? no
a higher OPS+? no
a higher wRC+? no
a higher wOBA? no
a higher DRS? no
to play in a tougher environment? no

how the fuck do you get the decision THAT wrong

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

@JustBB_Media Benge was robbed. Does anyone watch the games?

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

Benge not winning the NL ROY convinces me that none of the voters actually watched the games. Does defense no longer matter? “Oh 1st baseman hits 30 homers he must be the best”. Brain dead. #lgm #Mets

[AT @BaseballWRLD_]

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

@SNY_Mets @SNYtv How about defense? Does any voter actually watch the games???

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

How was Benge not on every ballot? WTF??? #LGM

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

@just_mets They did not.

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

@AnthonyDiComo Robbed. Does defense not matter anymore?

[True to the Orange & Blue @Robderbs]

@TheMetsX Robbed. He was the worst choice.
