CircleSeven 1956 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Posted by Feder yesterday, Longtime play-by-play announcer "The Hawk" Ken Harrelson will leave the White Sox announcer booth after the 2018 MLB season. In 2018, the Hawk will be calling a 20 game schedule of primarily Sunday home games. Since last year, Ken has been calling the team's road games, while Jason Benetti has been calling its home games. Because of Ken's limited role next year, Benetti will be the new primary play-by-play announcer. After he leaves the booth, he will serve as ambassador of the team during the 2019 season.

Georgie56 3307 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I miss the old Hawk and DJ days. Hawk did a broadcast with Dan Plesac last season and they had great chemestry in the booth. I'm a Sox fan from the South Side and I'll miss him. He's one of the most honest announcers in MLB.

A3N 1002 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I miss the old Hawk and DJ days. Hawk did a broadcast with Dan Plesac last season and they had great chemestry in the booth. I'm a Sox fan from the South Side and I'll miss him. He's one of the most honest announcers in MLB. And it was the hawk that had White Sox management push Darrin to the radio side in favor of Steve Stone. The Hawk is only honest about the opposing side, and maybe the umpires, but make no mistake he's one of the biggest homers- if not, the top one in all of MLB.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Put it this way, if Hawk and Joe West got in a fist fight, I'd pull for Hawk.

I'd hope they both knock each other out, that way I won't have to root for either one.

CircleSeven 1956 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 didn't hawk get scolded for going in on the umpires once ? The Commissioner (at the time) Bud Selig did reprimand him of that specific incident.

A3N 1002 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 LOL at Bud Selig "reprimanding" Hawk. All Bud did was basically pluck one of Hawk's feathers. Nothing more. During his tenure, Selig was as soft as a melted McDonald's Ice Cream cone...
