Pass

I'd rather watch a One Direction doc.

That sounds awesome to me. I wish I had MLB Network

This.

 

You can make documentaries about and respect people you don't like.

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.

I would approach it with an open mind. Fan or not, it should be interesting. We all love baseball.

I'll absolutely watch this documentary.

And for those keeping score at home, Steve detests Hawk as a broadcaster.

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.

People who hate Hawk are idiots. Yes, I am resorting to name calling.

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.

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.

I get all of that. I have no problem with people who believe such things. I have a problem with anyone who would react to a documentary about Hawk being aired by saying "why, that guy sucks, I hate him".

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***

Every time I get bored with Hawk, all I need to do is listen to most of the rest of professional team announcers out there. God they are just awful.

^ this. And I have an extremely hard time even watching the Dbacks now anymore out here due to Brenly. But there are some awful announcers out there...

Anyone know if this will be available on DVD to purchase?

Watch a week of baseball on ESPN. It is possible to miss Hawk.

 

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.

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.

Hawk Doc vs Sharknado at 6.

 

Decisions.

Please Hawk, please... retire after this season.

 

So yes mark me down for Team Idiot.

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...
