Porter, Kelly Are Honored

Ross Porter was the man of the hour at the Southern California Sports Broadcasters awards luncheon Monday at Lakeside Golf Course in Toluca Lake.

Porter and longtime USC announcer Tom Kelly were inducted into the group’s Hall of Fame, and Porter also won the Chick Hearn Award for best radio play-by-play last year. Porter, who completed his 28th and final season as a Dodger broadcaster last year, was introduced by Vin Scully.

Because Scully was named best play-by-play announcer in both television and radio the last three years, he was not eligible in those categories this year.

Other award winners:

* Best television play-by-play -- King announcer Bob Miller.

* Best radio analyst -- USC football commentator Paul McDonald.

* Best television analyst -- The Lakers’ Stu Lantz.

* Irv Kaze Talk Show Award -- XTRA’s Lee Hamilton.

* Best television anchor staff -- Channel 2 (Jim Hill, Steve Hartman, Alan Massengale and John Ireland).

* Best radio anchor staff -- KFWB (Joe Cala, Bob Harvey, Bret Lewis, Bill Seward, Ted Sobel, Eric Tracy and Geoff Witcher).

* Best foreign language broadcaster -- The Dodgers’ Jaime Jarrin.

* Lifetime achievement -- Rod Dedeaux.

* High Five Award -- David Davis, president of the Tournament of Roses Assn.

* Chuck Benedict Founders Award -- Matt Leinart.

* Good Guy Award -- Rosie Gutierrez, longtime assistant to Peter O’Malley and Fred Claire.
