Five thoughts from the week in baseball:
Bosom buddies
If Sunday really was the final broadcast together for White Sox announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson and Tom “Wimpy” Paciorek, at least they went out with a bang.
With Steve Stone off for the weekend, Paciorek joined his old partner for Sunday’s Twins-Sox game. The two were as comfortable together as an old pair of shoes.
Harrelson name-checked Ted Williams, Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas and other staples, while Paciorek casually set him up for some vintage storytelling during James Shields’ no-hit bid.
