October 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) I loathe Hawk and am embarrassed my favorite baseball team employs him. He is an oafish novelty act that is about insightful as a bag of rocks. The day he's finally gone will be a celebratory one indeed. Your what hurts?
October 3, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (lord chas @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) This more of a lifetime achievement award? Exactly. It would be the same as saying that Hank Aaron shouldn't be in the HOF because he hit .229 his last year in baseball.
October 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 01:07 PM) He deserved it, so I guess he deserves it now. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 09:11 AM) Exactly. It would be the same as saying that Hank Aaron shouldn't be in the HOF because he hit .229 his last year in baseball. Tell me you had to look that up.
December 11, 201312 yr Didn't make it. He'll be eligible again in three years. Three...long....years.
December 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 09:08 AM) Didn't make it. He'll be eligible again in three years. Three...long....years. That blows. He's going to make it. Why make him wait? Do they only give it to 1 guy a year? Edited December 11, 201312 yr by Dick Allen
December 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 09:56 AM) Hopefully Hawk is still alive when he gets it. Yeah. I actually felt the same way about Santo. If you are going to vote for him when he is dead, you might as well let him enjoy it while he is alive. Nothing regarding his worthiness will have changed.

With all of Santo's whining, he didn't deserve to get in while he was alive.

I'm sure he does, and I'm sure the White Sox want him there as well. I would bet the naming the broadcast level of the park after him, Hawk Harrelson Day, having MLB Network do a special on him were not his ideas.

I am sure a lot of the voters would have looked at Santo much more favorably if he had let the Cubs brass done the same thing.
