Thad Bosley Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) I loathe Hawk and am embarrassed my favorite baseball team employs him. He is an oafish novelty act that is about insightful as a bag of rocks. The day he's finally gone will be a celebratory one indeed. Your what hurts?

southsider2k5 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 QUOTE (lord chas @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) This more of a lifetime achievement award? Exactly. It would be the same as saying that Hank Aaron shouldn't be in the HOF because he hit .229 his last year in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That blows. He's going to make it. Why make him wait? Do they only give it to 1 guy a year? Edited December 11, 2013 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually felt the same way about Santo. If you are going to vote for him when he is dead, you might as well let him enjoy it while he is alive. Nothing regarding his worthiness will have changed.

I'm sure he does, and I'm sure the White Sox want him there as well. I would bet the naming the broadcast level of the park after him, Hawk Harrelson Day, having MLB Network do a special on him were not his ideas.

I am sure a lot of the voters would have looked at Santo much more favorably if he had let the Cubs brass done the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
