The website for CSN Chicago features a soundboard of 45 different lyric gems, courtesy of White Sox play-by-play man Hawk Harrelson.
Push play to hear all 45 in glorious, consecutive fashion.
A million space bucks to reader/commenter juan pierre’s mustache.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
I can say with complete confidence that The Hawk is by far the worst thing to ever happen to sport of Baseball… nay… the human race.
hes not scully, but at least he’s entertaining. 80% of the other announcers are just empty windbreakers who suck up to the team they work for and the player next to them. hawk can fill dead air with personality, slang, and a funny voice, while the rest of em fill time with lines like “Well look! Theres some youngsters licking an Ice Cream cone..”
(not a WS fan)
The problem with this is that Hawk would talk about how he is better at eating ice cream than anyone else, ever. And if it was a Twins fan eating the ice cream he would mention he hopes that kid is lactose intolerant.
Besides, he has one broadcasts worth of personality. After that it’s just the same stupid 40 slogans over and over.
Well if he said that he hoped the Twins’ kid eating an ice cream cone was lactose intolerant, that would be pretty funny.
I agree with Bill. His catch phrases make me want to eat my own ears.
“Good Guys coming up next”
I really don’t like the White Sox broadcast team, and as a White Sox fan, I long for road trips.
