A.J. Pierzynski steals the spotlight on Hawk Day by barehanding a foul ball in the booth

Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field was all about Hawk Harrelson. It was Hawk Day after all.

However, A.J. Pierzynski stole the spotlight for a brief moment (and perhaps saved the day) by showing off the hands of a catcher in the broadcast booth. Pierzynski served as Harrelson's broadcast partner while the White Sox honored the long time voice of the team.

In the fifth inning Eduardo Nunez hit a foul ball headed straight for the broadcast booth. Hawk reached for it, but Pierzynski stepped in and made the clean grab.

Good thing we have a former catcher in the booth on #Hawkday pic.
