earlier this week, I was listening to some talk radio in LA, and it turned out that Bruce Jacobs on. Being a Bruce "fan", I decided to listen for a while. He got an email that went a little like this: "I decided to listen to Hawk Harrelson to see if he is as bas as you say he is. I could only stand to watch for 5 minutes." Then bruce says the Hawkeroo is definitely baseball's worst.
NOW, is hawk really THAT bad? I can see how he could get a little annoying, but I think his personality has grown on me somewhat. The best thing about him though, is his EMOTION. I CANNOT stand announcers who have NO emotion. It ruins the fun of the game. The announcer that recently retired from the tigers I believe (whos name escapes me) said he never showed any emotion. COme on now. Have some fun with your team. Nobody wants to listen to a robot.
I might give bruce a call when he's on saturday night. (the score, at midnight or 1 am, I forget) But I really have no evidence since i hhave heard few other announcers. I called bruce once, he has some problems with my man J HOOD..... ........ I'm incrediblly lame, i recoreded it, but he just throws out insults all the time.
anyone have some opinions on hawk?
p.s. Hawk has a book, right? anyone ever give it a read?
