The Hawk is in the Hall!

If it wasn't for Will Ferrell nobody would give a shit about Harray Caray anymore

[BDawk]

I thought he was most famous for singing Take Me out to the Ballgame and being piss drunk.  I still didn't hate the guy, I just thought he was a buffoon

[edfan]

BDawk, your assessment is 100% correct except that you forgot butchering names.  He was really good at that.

[Barton]

I always enjoyed when he would try to say names backwards. One game in particular, he took on Grudzielanek. A good time was had by all.

JOEEE  DEEEE, JO-DY DAV-IS!

Quote from sportswriter and HOF voter Bill Conlan.  He writes for the Philadelphia Inquirer and have known about his bullshit for some time:


    I voted for Tim Raines his first year of eligibility. But when he failed to get 25 percent of the vote, he was moved to the back burner. Sorry, that's just the way it has to be. Maybe more eligible ballwriters should have measured the Rock's career numbers in all phases against those of analog basestealer and first-ballot inductee Lou Brock. Try it, you'll be amazed.

    Good news for Raines, however. Yesterday, in one of the most bizarre elections in a bizarre process, he collected 30 percent and is now back on my radar.


Go fuck yourself

Artie told a great story about Harry Caray that Bob Uecker told him and Norm MacDonald...

He said that Harry used to get so piss drunk after the game that one time, they all slipped the waitress a few hundred bucks to serve them topless...but when a drunk Harry Caray went crazy over it, everybody just pretended like he was nuts and that he thought she was topless just because he was so drunk.  I guess you had to hear Artie tell the story...

Harry brought the take me out to the ballgame to the Cubs, he was a great announcer for the White Sox and he didn't butcher names until later in his career with the Cubs, some say he was more lovable and humorous for this feature.  You and Bdawk are missing my point that he was a great announcer for 3/4 of his career, his downhill slide came with the Cubs.

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

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. 

[BDawk]

especially you...and especially the horrible part

[JoeDirt]

you are the JoeDirt of sports writers
