Once again, we are far enough into the new season to announce our choices for the 2017 'Best O' Nation' Media Awards. This year, the The Boston Herald has nabbed the award for Best Overall Red Sox Coverage. This year's award for Best Baseball Writer goes to Jason Mastrodonato of The Boston Herald. For the second straight year, Surviving Grady's Red won the award for Best Web/Blog Columnist. Tim Neverett of WEEI/Red Sox Radio Network was named the Best Play-By-Play man, while Best Local Sports Radio Personality went (once again, reluctantly) to WEEI's Kirk Minihane. And, WBZ-TV's Dan Roche (not reluctantly), was named the Best Local TV Sports Anchor. Congratulations to the winners!
