Hawk Harrelson, and discussion of league commentary
I think the White Sox should just use a soundboard of his phrases to call games. Unless that's what they've already been doing?
Its so ridiculous. Why does he have to say "yes" twice?
Sometimes I'm my wife and I listen to their broadcast just to make fun of it. But when I'm watching the game recaps on mlb.tv it sometimes catches me off guard. You have to be in the mood. Like a bad B movie...
Mlb.tv is kinda cool how it allows you to sample the different commentators around the league. I find it interesting the Dodgers have only 1 guy. Is that a normal thing for them or is there some backstory behind it and is it just for this year?
Some of them are really boring. Their voices just don't spark enthusiasm. I think maybe the Reds guys?
I like the Tiger's combo and the A's are pretty good. I find myself wondering if I was following a team that had a crap broadcasting team would I be able to hack it?
For my team, Mike Blowers and Dave Sims aren't the best but at least they seem down to earth and they work well together. And I dig Dave's hats. We were blessed for so long with Dave Niehaus. How often to teams replace their commentary team members? Is it pretty much until they decide to leave or pass away?
It seems like a pretty important position for team revenue and generating/keeping fans. But maybe it just doesn't have that big of an effect or its un-evaluatable.
I wish Hawk would get into pro wrestling or something and quit the Sox.
