If you’re like me and grew up a White Sox fan, you most likely experienced the legendary Hawk Harrelson on the call every night. The winner of the 2020 Ford C. Frick award and an inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Harrelson was the voice of the White Sox from 1982 until his retirement in 2018. At the time, it was difficult to envision replacing Hawk, who was known for his hilarious catch phrases and sayings that White Sox fans still use regularly. But when the White Sox announced the hire of local up-and-coming broadcaster Jason Benetti and White Sox fans got to hear his passionate and intelligent commentary, it felt like the future of the broadcast booth was in good hands.
