Charley Walters: Count White Sox's Harrelson as a Twins believer

The Minnesota Twins are the surprise of this season's baseball season, Ken "Hawk" Harrelson said.

"No question about it," Harrelson said.

Harrelson, 73, who is in his 56th year in organized baseball, has been a major league player, general manager and, currently, is in his 40th season as broadcast analyst of the Chicago White Sox.

Are the Twins for real?

"I don't see how anybody can say they're not," Harrelson said.

The Twins averaged 96 losses during the previous four seasons. This season, early in the second half, they are 50-40.

"You've still got some good upside for this club, too, some good, young players," Harrelson said.
