What is wrong with being biased? He's an announcer for the white sox why shouldn't he root for his team? I'm a lifelong yankees fan but I watch a lot of replays and hawk is one of a few announcers that really stood out because of his emotion and catch phrases.

As a Giants fan, I still love to listen to clips of Hawk. He's almost like a random Sox fan who gets to call games.

2:24 - 2:33 Say what you want, but I'm sure ALL White Sox's fans had that exact same reaction. That's what makes him different. He's not just a broadcaster. He's also a fan of his team

As a rays fan who watched that broadcast because I was out of town at the time and wanted to hear different announcers I had the total opposite reaction in that moment lol

As a White Sox fan, who was born in, and has lived all but 5 years of my (nearly) 40 years on this earth, in Chicago, IL (and its bordering suburbs - Cicero, Berwyn, Oak Park), I am truly touched by all the non-White Sox fans who give due "props" to Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson for his unique style! I would like to thank you for appreciating a truly great and one-of-a-kind MLB announcer! A very special and heart-felt THANK YOU!!!, from "the Windy City"/a.k.a. "Second City"! from a humble Chicago Sox fan. 'YOU can PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAARRRD....YESSSS!!!! "Mercy!!!" "He gone!!!!!"

As a Dodgers fan I like Ken because of his enthusiasm and his home run call is just unique. Too many announcers these days are just too plain and that's why a lot of people think baseball is boring. But I got my friends to listen to Vin Scully and they were blown away by his stories and stats which really got them engaged into the game

The guy was absolutely something special. I listen to the ninth inning call of Buerhle's perfect game every now and then. It's like a shot of excitement and emotion and love for a team and it's players all wrapped in one, and he did it in as few words as possible and made every word mean something. Hawk was what a hometown announcer should be.

Braves fan here. Gotta be the best announcer ever. "HE GONNNNEE!!" My friends and I used to imitate his calls all the time and they always made us laugh. Hawk was truly one of a kind. I mean how could you not love that moment at 2:20. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

"You can put it on the board Mercy! Mercy!!" When Harry Kalas passed MLB network did a segment where other announcers paid respects and this is when I first discovered Hawk. Every Baseball city should have a broadcaster that can bring the game to life the way he would. Those guys are a part of the game too. They are the voice of our summers.

What is a kid I am telling you watching the game hawk Harrelson used to get me so damn excited.YES!!!!!!

STRETCH!! STRETCH!! YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAARRRDDD!! YES! YES! MERCY!! BEEN UH FAN OF THE WHITE SOX ALL MY LIFE. ONE LOVE HAWK. MUCH LOVE BIG HURT✊🏿🖤

I remember being a kid and knew nothing of baseball. But I *LOVED* when The Hawk got excited like that! I would wait for a Sox homerun just to hear him say this!! Forever a legend!!

From this lifelong Houston Astros fan listening to Ken makes these calls is great. You can tell he loves his team and his job. Keep it up Mr Harrelson.

I love this guys emotion! I can literally feel his happiness through my computer screen!

There is NO better home run call in the history of the game than the YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRD YESSSSSS

As a Bears fan, we do the "He looks up..." call every time they score. Whole bar gets into it.

I'm not even a Sox fan and this whole video gave me goosebumps

As a die hard Detroit Tigers fan, I absolutely LOVED hearing Ken “The Hawk” Harrelson’s broadcasts of the games. I looked forward to a White Sox player hitting a home run, just to hear him say, “You can put it on the boarrrrrd…..YES!!! YES!!! Mercy!!!” It cracked me up every single time. He’s definitely GOAT status. 👏🏾👌🏾🎤🎙️⚾️

He got more and more catch phrasy and emotional as he got older. He'd come up with them all on the spot. One day I remember he just said 'stretch!' and then it was there for good. He reached his final form with that 'you gotta be bleepin me' thing he started pulling in the 2010s. That is just incredible, to end a 9th inning hr call like that @3:48. So ridiculous, I love it.

I have not forgotten the between the leg play. Mark Buehrle is my favorite pitcher ever.

Hawk is a legend-- as a cardinals fan I put up with similar uhh eccentricities to Hawk with our long time radio broadcaster, Mike Shannon, who in his later years was tough to listen to. But announcers like this reach icon status for one reason, the raw emotion that comes through in their calls born out of their legitimate fanhood of the team they're announcing for. Awesome stuff, what a guy.

YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPIN' ME!! MERCY!! I thought that was a duck snort to right, but it was a hang wif'em. You cain't get it pass that guy in right with a 30-30. Mercy.

PUT IT ON THE BOOAARRDD! YESS! YESS! HELL YEAH!! DON'T STOP NOW BOYS!!

In that first clip, I remember watching that game live. It was the opening game back in 2010 and his 2009 perfect game was still very fresh in our minds. Very exciting game to watch.

Go Tigers! I'm not the hugest fan of our booth either. But if you want good commentators, my favorite ones are the Giants, Rays, and the Nationals. I also do like the Cubs booth, for the record, because while enthusiasm is a good thing, being a jackass isn't. My favorite radio booths are the Mariners, the Indians, the Tigers (I do love Dan on our radio broadcast), the Giants, and the Braves. I don't like how anyone who dislikes the culture of the White Sox is suddenly a "hater" with no reason for their dislike. Get over yourselves and maybe start showing up at the games instead of fighting with people on the internet.

i got chills watching the perfect game

thank you so much for posting this. As a sox fan their are few things better then hawk calling a game

I wish Dave O’Brien the Red Sox play by play announcer was this enthusiastic, hawk does a good job keeping his audience

Grew up watching the white Sox, this guy is a LEGEND

BEST ANNOUNCER EVER

A Red Sox fan, before watching the video:YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOAAARDDD YEEAAAHS

i love this guy quit hatin on the legend yes yes mercy

Honestly, the best calls were the whole games. During the lulls, dude always had a story to pull out of his ass to share. He remarked on good things he'd seen from the players up without getting too much into stats. Then when things were not so dull, he showed fire and passion and hometown energy. What's not to like?

From a Phillies fan, Hawk is the best in baseball. Pretty huge homer but at least he's talented.

One of the GOATs

Have been raised a white sox fan. All I knew was whenever somebody hit a home run it was "You cannn put it on the boardddd!! Yesssss!!!" And "He gone" after strikeouts. My mom and grandma have never and will never go to Wrigley. That's how serious my family takes it.

"You can hangout all the drawers in Cook County on that one" and "that was a leenya" lololol love that guy!!

I love how nonchalant the "Yes" was in final clip (Rios catch) lol. Perfect way to end the video.

First highlight I remember watching that LIVE

Harry Caray. The Hawk. John Miller. Kuiper & Krukow. Some of my favorite announcers.

It's hard to not have him in the booth I liked how be called it

I love his “ya gotta be bleeping me”

this guy is awesome!! you can put it onn the booooaaarrddd... yes!! yes!!! MERCY!!

Man this guy is UNIQUE! Everyone is super progressive these days but they want their baseball to remain untouched and "boring". They like Vin Scully but they cant take a guy like Hawk Harrelson. 95% of his dialogue is nothing but kudos, credit, and good things to say about other players and the last 5% are talking about his own guys on the field He's super critical of his team and VERY supportive. Yes, he's a homer, but he's the one guy who can pull it off largely because of how much respect he gives other. When Kerry Wood retired in 2012 Hawk went on a 5-10 minute rant about Kerry, his wife, kids, and his life and how much he respected him and the Cubs. People just like to hate, but Hawk will be going into the HoF and i cant wait to see them bitch about it hahaha

Legend.
