My dad is a White Sox fan. As a result, I’ve grown up watching games on TV and hearing play-by-play announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson’s voice behind the microphone. I remember laughing when he uttered catch phrases such as “He gone” and “You can put it on the board. Yes!” I thought he was hilarious.
In recent weeks, however, Harrelson has been in the headlines for criticizing just about everything that doesn’t go his way. During the Crosstown Cup series between the Cubs and White Sox, Hawk advocated for the White Sox to retaliate after Cubs pitcher John Lackey hit four Sox in one game.
