Winging it, like always, Ken Harrelson formally said goodbye to White Sox fans on a steamy Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field.
He had some Hawk moments in his 15-minute speech before the Sox’s 8-0 victory, for sure. But mostly he was Kenneth Smith Harrelson, his late mother Jessie’s son, surrounded by family and friends and reflecting on a 60-year career in baseball, with a quick side trip through the world of professional golf.
No compatible source was found for this media.
Harrelson was being honest when he told reporters beforehand that Hawk Day would be “bittersweet,’’ and it’s clear to anyone who knows him he’d love to step into a time machine and do it all again.
