Well, gotta say, Hawk was in rare form today, and perhaps something about the mojo of his official Hawk Harrelson Day helped the Chicago White Sox whitewash the Boston Red Sox, 8-0, in a laugher.
Hawk was fun in the booth, with pal/son/a#(*@&! A.J. Pierzynski, swapping stories that were injected with some new life.
But the important story is that while this combination kept the game flowing pretty well — one sole digression by Hawk, into athletes speaking out on politics aside — the White Sox offense exploded.
Chicago ran out to a 6-0 lead by scoring in each of the first four innings, and only wore the collar in the fifth and seventh en route to eight runs.
