White Sox Announcers Over the Years-- Part 2: Ken "Hawk" Harrelson

Ken Harrelson returned to the White Sox booth in 1990, this time as the lead play-by-play voice with Tom Paciorek doing the color.  

The Hawk proved quite unconventional in his play calling.  He is credited with giving Hall of Famer Frank Thomas his "Big Hurt" nickname.  He also created his own lingo with such words as "duck snort" meaning a bloop hit and "grab some bench" when a Sox pitcher strikes out an opposing player.

Few announcers are more passionate about their team than Harrelson.

Due to age and distance, Ken Harrelson cut back his announcing in 2016 and Jason Bennett was brought in to help.
