Hawk calls final game in White Sox booth

-

Longtime Chicago White Sox broadcaste­r Ken (Hawk) Harrelson worked his final game Sunday, closing out a colourful TV career after three-plus decades in the booth. The 77-year-old Harrelson, who also played in the majors for nine seasons with four teams and served as Chicago’s general manager for a short time, will be a team ambassador for the 2019 season. He isn’t sure about his plans beyond that job. “At one point I wanted to die in the booth: ‘Here’s (Paul) Konerko at the plate. Here’s the pitch, bam, that ball hit deep, way back, you can put it on the board,’ and that would be it,” Harrelson said. “I want to be with the White Sox as long as I live.”
