CLEVELAND -- He gone (for the most part).

Sunday’s broadcast marked the end of a 33-year run as the White Sox full-time play-by-play announcer for Hawk Harrelson. Harrelson, who also was the White Sox general manager for one season (1986), officially announced plans to retire and work a reduced schedule earlier in the season. He’s set to call 20 games in 2018 as Jason Benetti moves into the full-time role.

“Baseball’s been great to me,” Harrelson said. “I’ve been blessed. I love this game.

“It’s been a good ride. I’ve had a lot of fun. I’ve been blessed, but it’s over.
