It was hard to know how well this pairing was going to work, seeing as how Hawk Harrelson has struggled to put together a good broadcast all season long. But teaming up with one of the guys he “loved like a son,”* A.J. Pierzynski, made for a great call for the game. And crushing the Boston Red Sox, 8-0, didn’t hurt, either.
*Don’t feel too special, A.J., you were one of literally 50 guys during the broadcast that Hawk “loves like a son.”
HAWK: A.J., you had a lot of at-bats in your career.
