LittleHurt05 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I lead the charge when it comes to getting Hawk out of the booth nowadays. But the guy has had quite the career and an interesting journey, I will definitely try to watch this documentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, but I still appreciate history, would like to learn more about the guy who was on the cover of SI, and still love the man for his genuine obsession with my favorite team. I am, of course, ready to move along and up the value of the broadcast - dead sox + unhappy hawk = unwatchable. My entire youth, the excitement of good sox + s***ting himself hawk, and saying catch phrases throughout college are enough for me to owe it to the man to check out a doc - and it's narrated by Bob Costas so yeah bring it on.

Hawk lost his fastball a few seasons ago. I don't "hate" him, but I think it's time for him to retire. If that makes me an idiot, so be it.

Whether or not I disagree, I don't hold any anger towards people who believe Hawk's time for retirement has come or even came a long time ago. All I really would like is a little bit of respect for a guy that I have spent my entire life listening to on the tele. You can say "he should have retired". Fine. Let him get the Frick award and head off into the sunset at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him get the Frick award and head off into the sunset at some point. Actually, I'll back off the retirement comment because he's still better than 90 percent of the guys out there. I would like someone in the organization to tell him to engage his partner more, stop the silly silences, etc. Hawk is at that dangerous point (eg. Chris Berman) of being a self parody. That's not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) If there's going to be a documentary, this title absolutely makes sense to me. It makes sense to title it something based on his quirkiness. I am not a Hawk hater, but he just basically did not do all that much. It's all his how, not his what. good god i'm going into a hawkism just describing him If anyone wants to make a documentary about me,please do. I am really good at yelling when the Sox do poorly and jumping up and down when they are good n' s*** Edited July 11, 2013 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 CSN is showing a game from 1998. Hawk was 56 years old. What a difference in the quality of his voice. Steroid Central in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Bummed I don't get MLB Network at school. I like Hawk. He's earned the right to retire when he wants and I'm hoping that's soon. And I love huge homers like him and Stacey King. But dear lord listen to a Royals broadcast. Rex Hudler may be the worst announcer of all time.

Wanne Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 First 20 minutes has been pretty good IMO. The whole 3rd person or was it 3rd and 4th person?...between Ken and Hawk was kinda weird tho. It'll be a sad day when Hawk's not in the booth tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
