Breaking news Hawk Harrelson to cut back to 81 broadcasts in 2016 . 78 road -home opening day and two Cub home games . ( industry sources )

 

This is really bizarre that at his age he'd want to do basically only road games. Scully for example basically only does home games and some short road trips out of L.A.

 

Strange.

 

Guess we should all get ready to usher in the Chuck Swirsky era. (I hope not though...)

I would sometimes wonder how long Hawk can keep up the drive he has to the ballpark. He's getting pretty old, and not living close by makes for a heck of a commute.

 

Staying at hotels and riding buses to ballparks is a different story, and so I can understand doing road games. He probably still loves being on the road, too. Good for Hawk.

Ugh terrible. Can't wait til people get what they wish for and we get f***ing Chuck Swirsky. Ugh

 

They can't both be terrible?

 

If Swirsky is doing the home games, I hope he improves and starts acting like a pbp guy and not just interviewing Stone for three hours.

If it were me, I would do home games, and hire a driver. Of course, Granger wouldn't be where I lived, but if I had to..........

Question is: why the f*** would you live in Granger, IN?

 

I think his daughter lives near there, and he wants to be close to the grandkids. Which is nice, but stay there, man. You're 74. Enjoy your retirement.

Now that you mention it, in Hawks shoes I would miss my home ballpark a TON. The fans cheering with you for the Sox.

 

I'd be willing to wager that if the Sox are competitive next year, and the ballpark is rocking, he might do a few more home games later in the season.
