Hawk Harrelson Gets Emotional Calling Final White Sox Road Game

10.2.2017

White Sox TV play-by-play announcer Hawk Harrelson yesterday "called his final road game as a broadcaster," a 3-1 loss to the Indians at Progressive Field. It was with "tears in his eyes" that Harrelson "closed out a chapter of his storied baseball career." He said, "Fifty-six years, parts of seven decades, and baseball's been great to me. I've been blessed. I love this game." Harrelson is scheduled to call 20 White Sox home games next season "before moving into an ambassador role with the organization" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 10/2).

The Indians "honored Harrelson with a video montage in the first inning." He "started to choke up as he discussed the highlights" of his career. Watch the video on MLB.com (NBCSPORTS.com, 10/1).
