The Hawk is in the Hall!

[Nacho]

808 SB is HOF worthy almost in itself.

[bonny]

Such a great sport, yet everything surrounding it is fucked up.

[Big Hath]

truer words . . .

[ryno]

hey, have any of you guys heard that Dawson had a low OBP?  I hadn't heard that until today. . .


Seriously, we know this.   Since when is OBP the only factor to consider on a ballplayer? 

[Brookensrules!]

he struck out a lot from what I remember, perhaps the low OBP, then again he hit lots of homers too.

this thread is wrong...hawk harrelson did NOT get elected to the hall of fame today

he didn't strike out all that much -- just a handful of years where he K'd 100 times or more.

They have a "Shitty GM" Hall of Fame now? He should be first ballot, no question.

They have a "totally awesome announcer" Hall of Fame now? He should be first ballot, no question.

[Brookensrules!]

Is that the guy who does the White Sox?  If so he is the worst.

[Gantry]

Hawk is a good announcer imo

[Brookensrules!]

"yes, put it on the board"

so stupid.

[JoeDirt]

I'm no Hawk or White Sox fan, but isn't it, "Puuuuuuut it on the board, Yeeees!"

[Attezz]

A lot of times the douchey play by play guy gets in the "yeeees" part of it.

[Gantry]

Does anyone outside of Chicago like the Hawk?  Cause they should...

[bonny]

He don't bother me. 

[ryno]

i liked him and wimpy. . .. . always fun to hear them do a game

I don't like or hate him, but think of him as a joke.  I guess the city of Chicago likes goofy ass announcers with him and Caray. 


Other note, baseball writers are the most miserable, shitty human beings ever.  They had some fat bastard on Hot Stove last night telling why he didn't vote for Alomar.  He said he thought he was the best 2nd baseman since Morgan, but didn't like the "spitting" incident.  He said he'd vote for him next year. When they pressed him on it saying the umpire has forgiven him and moved on, said stupid writer fumbled around and recalled one time when Alomar was turning a double play and threw the ball away. So he remembers Alomar making an error...ok.  I have a feeling that Alomar gave this fat fuck a rotten interview a few years ago and now he's getting his vengeance.

Sportswriters are some of the most fucking stupid, horrible people ever.

The HOF is for those who don't make errors.  Everyone knows that

Carey was a great announcer, very sharp.  Maybe you aren't aware just how long of a career he had as an announcer.  Sure he was a mess toward the end of his life with the cubs due to old age but he was one of the best announcers in the game.
