HOUSTON, TX - Longtime Astros executive Jamie Hildreth has been voted in as the 2022 inductee into the Houston Baseball Media Wall of Honor. The Astros will recognize the Hildreth family at Minute Maid Park in a pregame ceremony on Oct. 3.

Each season, a current or former Houston media member is inducted into the Houston Baseball Media Wall of Honor for significant and lasting contributions to the landscape of Houston baseball through their work in journalism or broadcasting. This year, Hildreth was nominated and elected by the Houston media and will be inducted by the Astros in recognition of his long and impactful career in the industry.

Hildreth last served as the Astros Senior Vice President of Broadcasting and Alumni Relations before sadly passing away in Spring Training of 2017. Hildreth originally joined the Astros in 1987 as the club’s Director of Broadcasting and would remain with the Astros for 30 seasons serving in various roles within the organization

Working behind the scenes, rather than in front of the microphone, Hildreth worked alongside longtime Astros broadcasters Alan Ashby, Bill Brown, Jim Deshaies, Larry Dierker, Milo Hamilton, Alex Treviño, Bill Worrell and others. Hildreth also had a hand in the hiring of the current Astros broadcast teams in the television and radio booths.

Prior to joining the Astros, Hildreth was already a fixture in the Houston media market after having a successful career in radio, which included stops at KRBE and KTRH in Houston and KTRM/KALO in Beaumont, TX.

Hildreth had a highly decorated career, which included winning the 2014 Fred Hartman Award, given annually by the Houston Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Additionally, in 2021, he was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.

A native Texan, Hildreth was a graduate of the University of Houston, majoring in radio and television.

On Oct. 3, the Astros will induct Hildreth in a pregame ceremony on the field and will present his family with a duplicate of the plaque that will be added to the Houston Baseball Wall of Honor in the Milo Hamilton Press Box at Minute Maid Park. His plaque will join those of previous inductees Anita Martini (2007), Gene Elston (2008), Neil Hohlfeld (2009), Mickey Herskowitz (2010), Bill Brown (2011), Milo Hamilton (2012), René Cárdenas (2013), Alex Treviño (2014), Harry Shattuck (2015), Mark Berman (2016), Bob Allen (2017), Karen Warren (2018), Larry Dierker (2019) and Kevin Eschenfelder (2020).
