Chicago's Best Four Sports Announcers-- Part 4: "Hawk"Harrelson


Hawk is currently in his last season in the booth after starting with the Sox in 1982 and staying on for good in 1990.  He'll be remembered for his catchphrases, personality and over-the-top homerism.

It works, especially for a team that can't come out of the shadow of the Cubs.

Hawk's rants are legendary, whether it is about an umpire like Brian Gorman or a villainous foe like former Brewers manager Phil Garner.

He's opinionated, old-school and a joy to listen to.  And, he's synonymous with the White Sox, a true measure of a broadcaster's reach.

And, with me being a Sox fan, I like him.
