C Crane's are universally well reviewed. I have several of them.. tabletop and pocket. Build quality is very good.
I thought it was some random brand from China, but they're founded and based in California (stuff made in China, though). There's a lot of interference where I live (especially on AM) and no radio I've ever used could deal with it as well as CCrane's. they use extra long ferrite bar antennas. Sound is really good too.
This one has nice big buttons on the top for band selection and memory presets, so your dad should be able to navigate around easily. It's got heft (especially with 4 DCells in it.. comes with plug too). I even got the carry case for it (mostly because it lacks a handle)

This one is awesome too, but it's pocket sized (and maybe too many buttons for dad)

...ever considered Google Home or an Echo.. your dad could just "ask" but I don't know about shortwave streaming services, but if he's a sports guy, he can listen to any MLB or NBA radio broadcast (all season long) with the appropriate apps.
have you introduced him to podcasts yet?
Cheap, good sound quality and loud, sensitive, AA powered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BH6RPTY/
Make a wire 20ft long to throw over a tree branch for an extra antenna length.
I've tried several of the popular hand crank ones, underwhelmed, fiddlely.
My current one is a bit over the top: https://www.amazon.com/Skywave-Shortwave-Weather-Airband-Portable/dp/B00QMTI6YK/
Its overkill, but light and two AA batteries last forever.
I spotify on the go without my phone using this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QMTI6YK
It's a portable, frequency-adjustable, electromagnetic radiation pulse to mechanical pressure wave converter. It operates several hours a day for months without needing to recharge. It's pretty cutting edge stuff you guys probably don't know about it.

I’ve had this C Crane radio in an Amazon wishlist for years… I used to listen to one just like it with a now ex-boyfriend. I still want the radio though. The radio I have now just isn’t as good (cheaper though).
You could get something like this
