July 21, 201213 yr In praise of Hawk Harrelson http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,1190963.column I like him even more when he said he couldn't promise Selig that he would stop criticizing the umpires.
July 21, 201213 yr Hawk is one of the best announcers of his time. Is he a biased, winey, sometimes annoying homer? Hell yes, but that's why we love him. He will be a HOF for broadcasting, no doubt.

July 23, 201213 yr According to the MLB Network, of the 25 best personalities in the history of baseball...Hawk is #14. And I have to say, the list is stacked with Sox...Ozzie and Bill Veeck were also on the list.
